I think Pooka should be my new best friend...she's so trendy and hip with those good ideas... *dreamy sigh*
I mean....Awesome stuff dwellars!
Bri ~ It's not about "being able to" in any way. It's about DOING. My mom always told me growing up that the reason she can do so many things is because either nobody bothered telling her that she couldn't, or someone DID tell her, so she did it just to prove them wrong. (Like the day she woke up and decided we needed a laundry room in our house...so she just built one.) I try to keep that in mind when I'm thinking about starting something new, because about 70% of the battle is getting yourself to believe you're actually going to DO what you want. So if you want to quilt, go buy some cheap fabric, chop it up, and sew it together...then figure out where it went disastrously wrong...and try again
That's what I'm doing.
*pokes juniper* I know I know...I can't figure out how to make them all perfect, and I don't think I'm patient enough for real quilting... so after these are finished, I'm going to stick with crazy quilting...then I won't feel like a lazy bum...because it's *SUPPOSED* to look that way
