Have you ever looked at someone else’s finished quilt and immediately thought about all the unfinished projects waiting in YOUR sewing room?
Or watched someone quilt a beautiful design and wondered why you aren’t “there” yet?
It is so easy to turn something we love into a measuring stick!
Someone else finishes more quilts. Someone else makes more complicated blocks. Someone else seems to master free-motion quilting while we are still trying to convince our hands and feet to work together.
And suddenly, our own progress doesn’t feel like enough.
That is why I love the reminder in today’s quote….
YES!!
Quilting is not a race, although I sometimes act as if a finish line is hiding somewhere beneath my scrap pile!
There are things I want to learn, quilts I want to make, and ideas I can hardly wait to try. That excitement is part of the fun. But when I focus too much on getting to the NEXT thing, I can miss the pleasure of what I am doing right now.
So, as we begin a new week, let’s give ourselves permission to enjoy our quilting at our own pace.
What part of your quilting are you enjoying RIGHT NOW?
If you enjoy this blog, please share it with your friends!!!
Thank you…….
