This applies to living your life as well. I love quilting & now have a brand new sewing room after sitting in a small space in a corner of my living room for years. . . my very own sewing room! (Ok, my son left home & it has taken being really brave to let go & not cry but the room definitely takes the sting out of it.) I want to apply her tip to be brave in my sewing as well & learn free motion quilting. Thanks for a chance to win this gorgeous fabric . . . it would look so beautiful in my room!!!Gale, Ky quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10047768589976889121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267435638113418929.post-85051580743319719222013-07-01T20:54:27.861-04:002013-07-01T20:54:27.861-04:00I appreciated her advice about being true to onese...I appreciated her advice about being true to oneself - do what you love and others will love it too. I make quilts for gifts and charity fundraisers,and I often second guess my color and design choices. Will the quilt be good enough for someone else? If I spend more time sewing and less time agonizing over choices, I will get more done. :)Pamelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18438194580751421093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267435638113418929.post-35039386812441140872013-07-01T18:22:43.840-04:002013-07-01T18:22:43.840-04:00I love putting a quilt to together and have finall...I love putting a quilt to together and have finally gotten up the courage to quilt the tops.<br />Tricia<br />tricia_shaver@msn.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267435638113418929.post-49923454389002196212013-07-01T17:08:33.989-04:002013-07-01T17:08:33.989-04:00I LOVE that she gives us permission to TRY....bein...I LOVE that she gives us permission to TRY....being brave is what gets us from beginner to accomplished.

Sometimes, when we go through trials we tend to forget about others who went before us and the ones who will follow after us.
