Quilting is fun when...

Quilting can be fun when:
- we don't try to compete with other quilters.    Quilting shouldn't be a competition, trying to make better quilts or more quilts that the next quilter.   Quilters should just be friends.
- when we don't worry about our mistakes.    A good carpentar can cover up his mistakes, so can a good quilter.   I had a wonderful quilting teacher about 20 years ago who said "we don't make mistakes...there is always a way to fix something".    Isn't that profound.    Why sweat about making a mistake when we can fix it!!
- eat chocolate while quilting.
- when we pass on the art of quilting to others.   Why keep our experiences or quilting tips we've learnt along the way to ourself.  
- when we compliment other quilters, no matter how their quilting looks.    THERE IS ALWAYS SOMETHING NICE TO SAY ABOUT A QUILT OR THE QUILTER'S EFFORT!!!   No quilter is perfect in their quilting.
- when we can laugh about our mistakes or our color choices
- when our family or friends don't take second place to our quilting.   (Along with our faithwalk.)   Quilt when you can and don't worry about making hundreds of quilts.   That's not the most important part of quilting.   It's making the quilts we can with the time we have.
- when we can feel no quilt when we only make a table runner or a small quilt.   When we can get joy out of making small rather than always large.   There is beauty in the small too!!
- when we can GIVE OUR QUILTS AWAY.
