I so agree with what you all said. This has to be fun or we should quit it immediately. I find it touching to know that you sit out there thinking of me while you make my rug as well as I think of the receiver a lot, when I make mine. They are all very personal and I don't judge what is coming.
Sometimes I have friends coming here to sew and they used to say: I can't do the things you do. My answer has always been and will always be: I have been sewing for most of my life. The things I did 30 years ago were not like the things I do now. The current project leads to the next and you incorporate your knowledge in the next.
So the current project is always the best you can do at the moment. My friends have accepted it now and I'm so proud of them because they say yes to be challenged and they learn a lot from it.
So come on everyone to play. It's so much fun and these small projects allow you to experiment with whatever you want.
Lorchen, I can hardly wait
Rita, looking forward to your current masterpiece
