We have all been there……

We are STUCK and can’t figure out WHERE to go next.

Then, that little thought enters our brain “WHAT IF I…….?

And just like that, we are off and running again!!

My hope is that you find a way to add “WHAT IF” to every day of your life!!

“Let’s Get Scrappy is about how to decide, not about what to make.”

Let’s Get Scrappy is an on-demand online course that helps quilters overcome decision fatigue and finally make sense of their overflowing scrap bins. With four hours of step-by-step video instruction, you’ll learn simple systems for organizing, piecing, and pressing your scraps—so you can stop overthinking and start sewing beautiful, coordinated quilts with confidence and joy.

This is very similar to the Thomas Edison quote….. “I have not failed.  I’ve just found 10,000 ways that it won’t work.”.

Isn’t that a great attitude to have about life…..and quilting!!

One of my favorite things about quilting is motivating others and helping them in their quilting journey. As part of this endeavor, I LOVE to present programs and workshops to groups and guilds around the world. All of my programs work well with Zoom meetings, and I would love to speak to your group.

The full quote from James Clear adds a line that says…..

It’s hard to fear a problem when you are making progress on it—even if progress is imperfect and slow.

This weekend I have been SLOWLY working on a project that I had anxiety over. While I am still concerned about how to finish the project, I am excited that movement has been made!!

Is there something that you are feeling anxious about? Get in there and start working on it!!

Mr. Close goes on to say….

“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to do an awful lot of work.

All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and something else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive. You feel like you need this great idea before you can get down to work, and I find that’s almost never the case.”
