I've been doing it since I was 10. I didn't actually start quilting until my daughter was born. But the more people were telling it it "should" be done. The fear started. The only person you have to please is yourself no matter what you do in life. I never even thought of doing a blanket stitch to bind a quilt. How imaginative is that?

When I am in the middle of one of my projects I end up stopping because I think it isn't going to be worthy of...whatever, whoever...while reading your post I realized that it is the fear that what I finish won't be acceptable. I think I am going to have a great couple of days off from work now, cause I am going to tackle some of my UFO's in a different light!

It made me think of any other artists, particularly composers as I am a musician. <br /> I thought immediately of Beethoven. Listening to his Horn/Cello Sonata he sounds squarely in the Classical period with Mozart and Haydn. His symphonies, especially the later ones are more Romantic.<br /> Any artist's work will evolve and continually change. Your inspirations, reasons, and techniques will always be changing and evolving as any artist's. Don't let that be part of your fear. Rather I think of this as a push in a direction. There is no right or wrong direction, just the one you are going.<br /> P.S. I think it is the right direction. :)Adam Yoeckelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17954086444011100617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-21011914644889924772012-01-21T22:10:55.268-05:002012-01-21T22:10:55.268-05:00I had to read some of this post to my husband....f...I had to read some of this post to my husband....fear of cutting fabric, choosing the wrong pattern, etc - I need to let it go and this is actually what I want to do this year...sew with no fear!Jess @ Scrappy n Happyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16129495647533569389noreply@blogger.com
