And rea...All I can tell you is to keep practicing. And really, who's going to know if your feathers aren't perfect or your straight line stitching isn't so straight. Unless you are going to enter them in a show to be judged, it's not going to be a big deal. We are our own worst critics. I look back on some quilts I did years ago that I thought were so so and I still like the quilt. No, the quilting isn't perfect, but I still like the quilt. Stop beating yourself up, and just do it and keep doing it.Barbara Sindlingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05864004276255587051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7619713180070289507.post-20806980052166236392011-04-11T08:57:26.381-05:002011-04-11T08:57:26.381-05:00Have I ever felt inadequate?

You do need...Have I ever felt inadequate? Daily...<br /><br />You do need to stop running yourself into the ground. You have amazing talent that is your own. I dream of being able to applique like you do. <br /><br />As for marking or not marking...I never do. I eye ball everything. The grid work on my tulip quilt is wonky and off center. The straight lines on the flowers are eye balled and not all the same distance apart. I like it that way. =) <br /><br />One of the things I am teaching my boys (I homeschool) is that they are not going to be good at everything. That's just the way it is. That's not a reason to not try, but it's okay to not be great at it. <br /><br />BTW, I am talking to myself here, too...Remember, I have a longarm that intimidates the snot out of me...Amy, a redeemed sheephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12324661637036868565noreply@blogger.com
