One morning, I was watching YouTube videos while exercising when I came across one about piecing curves.
It sounded interesting, so I started watching. While the curved piecing caught my attention, a brief exchange between the quilters stayed with me.
Kate, from The Last Homely House, was teaching Marion how to piece curves. She carefully explained the process and walked Marion through the steps.
Then came the moment of truth—pressing the finished block!
Marion stepped back, looked at what she had made, and said, “I am so excited… I feel like doing a little dance.”
Kate’s answer was wonderful…
We know that feeling!
Isn’t that a familiar quilting moment?
You try something that you aren’t quite sure you can do. You pay attention, take your time, and perhaps hold your breath a little.
Then you open the block, give it a press, and discover that it WORKED!!
Surely that deserves a little celebration!
And if that moment calls for a little dance…well, you know what Kate would say!!
