For some reason it really makes me confused and I get somewhat dyslexic with it. <br /><br />When I first learned to quilt, my friends (who are very experienced) kept telling me I was picking out hard patterns. But since I had never made a quilt before, how did I know it was hard. It made no difference to me and I made what I liked. Now as for actually quilting my quilt, no way. I have the worst time with stencils, free motion, you name it. I am all to happy to pay someone to do it for me. =) <br /><br />I must say that it has been over 7 years since I have made a quilt and you are inspiring me to take it up again. Thank you!

It's just the small things, done your way, and the result looks wonderful. I might not even have noticed all the changes, if you hadn't pointed them out, since I'm not sitting with the pattern and your piece in front of me. I often change things. I have been known to go to a class and do a part of it my way, instead of the teacher's, because it works better for me, but that doesn't mean I don't appreciate the time and effort the teacher puts forth. Great post, Jenny, and lovely piece you're doing. I'm glad for the news about your knee, now I'll pray for your diagnosis on that leg and quick healing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-54383978866963774952014-06-25T05:40:37.677+10:002014-06-25T05:40:37.677+10:00Challenges on more then the creative front going o...Challenges on more then the creative front going on for you right now.

I'm glad to hear it's not your knee that's causing the issues though!!!! <br /><br />You've done a lovely job making Vicki's pattern your own! When I saw it the first time, I fell for it too, though I too have thought about small changes I'd make when I get to it - including adapting the writing script, and changing a stitch choice too, lol! It is a really lovely pattern though, and yours is gorgeous!!<br /><br />So glad you're finally challenging yourself with some of these things you haven't attempted/tried until now!! It widens your repertoire and allows for more creative thinking, which is fabulous in my opinion!! This was one of the reasons why I decided to throw myself into the crocheted doilies I've been working on over recent months!! When I began, I knew only about 3 or 4 basic - BASIC - stitches ... now, 5 doilies in, it is all coming together so well, so quickly, and sometimes without much thinking past starting the rows :) I've even had people ask if I was interested in selling them - including one order already in a particular colour (still tracking down the thread colour, but I think I'm close :) ... good thing it's not a rush job, lol!) Learning something new is always daunting, but it can teach us so much about ourselves through the process - and not just about the craft we are learning :) Keep it up gorgeous - the world is your oyster!!! xxx Larissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06366510866652989740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-73535855251909545142014-06-24T13:04:32.176+10:002014-06-24T13:04:32.176+10:00Jenny, I do hope things go well and you heal up qu...Jenny, I do hope things go well and you heal up quickly!
