It would be nice to quilt stress free. I am trying to quit being a perfect sewer and focus more on enjoying the process. It’s a lot more fun.
I love the magazine and the fabric looks beautiful
Nice giveaway. The points if very imperfect are changed before going on with the rest of the quilt……. If not too visible, they are left the way they are.
Stress- ME? LOL you know My stress should be over now the McCall’s Quilt Design Star is finished, but it’s still way too close to Thanksgiving and Christmas. That causes just a little. Thank you for offering to help with that without having to leave the house. The fabrics look yummy! Rainbows might be just what is needed with the Winter Weather.
I need to journal more-less mistakes next time. Love to have some more fabric.
This sounds like something I need to read. Would love to win the fabrics!
I need to gain more confindence, more time to sew, and encouragement! Sounds like this give away is the “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow”…Troy Riverwoods Modern Textures fat quarters in rainbow colors that is! Even “Dorthy” would be dancing!!
