More Tips and Things Learned: Part III

1)  Giveaways are a great way to meet new and interesting people!

2)  No matter what happens on the next cut, just remember... it's only fabric.

3)  Things happen at your Design Wall when the overhead fan is turned on high.

4)   Pet animals can be very good company when sewing…..Pet birds…. usually……

5)   Sometimes the simplest is the best.

6)  You get more when you give than when you get......

7)   If/When listing projects to create in your quilting life, stretch the list; add several more than you anticipate finishing.....If you reach for the stars, you might get off the ground...

8)  Almost three-year-olds don't notice the many "oops" in their quilt from G'ma.  They just wrap it around and snuggle.....

9)  The best gift for your quilt is a new washing machine to replace the OLD one with the agitator!

10) It's hard to capture a giggle in a quilt, but some do!

LOVE IT!

Too bad my "old" washing machine is only four years old and has an agitator. It was a gift from my folks, and I had the choice of a matching set, or them getting me a H.E. front loading washer and me saving up for a dryer....guess which one I chose with a 6 month old baby at the time!

I have been loveing your lists. I love #10 the most as I have seen giggles wrapped in a quilt.

Hello, I followed a link from Stray Stitches and found your wonderful lists of things learned! I especially liked #3 in this list about the design wall and overhead fan!

I love it! I agree that my little ones don't really notice the oopsies on my quilts or clothes. In fact a lot of the dresses they get are the rejects or leftover stock from my markets!
