I can never seem to get it just right - I stress a little - but rarely rip anything out to redo! The Table runner that I'm working on right now leaves a lot to be desired (my quilting is awful and I'm too afraid to try the machine quilting root). I'm learning from my mistakes or at least I hope I am! Have fun with those sweet boys and hope you'll share some fun pictures - have a great weekend!Rosellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14615262714438296920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-17282517887998280762014-07-11T21:22:12.786-04:002014-07-11T21:22:12.786-04:00I am not a perfectionist these days.

The tour guide for our trip to Ireland is a friend and it was her birthday the Saturday I arrived so I made her a card. Inside I stamped a dragonfly, put some glitter on it and closed the card before it was dry. Hmm, what to do with a smudge, why I punched out a colourful butterfly and glued it over top! Perhaps our mistakes and coverups are what make our crafted items unique.

In quilting, however, I am not. I saw an article in <i>Country Living</i> magazine years ago that said that many modern quilters actually design a flaw or two in their quilts to make them appear authentic. That took the pressure off!

And then, unfornately yes I know you know I am the queen of the perfectionists and am constantly ripping out something.. You would have laughed at me yesterday as I was working on the pillow for my sister. You name it, it went wrong. But! when it was time for the third time to rip, I simply took my rotary cutter and cut it off and started again, lol. Now I am sure you are thinking now she is simply wasting fabric, which I guess is technically true...sigh. I had to tell myself it is never wasted if you learn something from it. Weak I know, but it was the best I could do!. lol However the thing is FINALLY right so today I will move on to the back of the pillow. Yes, it has been ALL about the front this week so far. I need to say this however....It is still NOT perfect. Don't know if that is even possible when it comes to my sewing, haha. But it is finally good enough, lol. Have a wonderful, wonderful day with the grands!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09836655708421528876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-74273840082863874172014-07-11T08:51:57.266-04:002014-07-11T08:51:57.266-04:00I am not a perfectionist, and certainly not with q...I am not a perfectionist, and certainly not with quilting!
