Uggggh. No one looking at this could tell any improvement from my first attempt in January, but I can while I am actually doing it. I know that this will take a lot of practice which I have not done. I hurry and do the challenge to get it done in time but then never try it again. But my goal was to give it a try and it has made me do that and I hope in time I will practice more and actually do it on a quilt. I think about the process while I am doing it, that I am doing something right (that lasts for .3 seconds) and then I see all the things I am doing wrong. That is a good step for me. At least while I am quilting I can start to recognize what I am doing wrong or right. I am grateful for SewCalGal taking the time to do this for beginners like me. It looks like a ton of work and it definitely has been of benefit to me.Sunday, July 22, 2012

ReplyDeleteI think you are being way too hard on yourself! It looks great! It's easy to see every little mistake when you are working on a white fabric with orange thread, but once you do it on a quilt, they won't be as noticable!!! Keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteHi Bobbi, Your July piece is wonky and fun. The fillers and tiles look wonderful. I love it.
