The stress and then the hurt when they didn't like what I made, and usually petty little things that didn't make a lot of difference. I sew for me and if someone happens to like what I already have made well enough to purchase it, fine, but no custom orders. There is no way I would quilt quilts for anyone else either. This is supposed to be fun, not stressful. Your real creativity comes out when you aren't under stress and then the real winners are made.Exuberantcolor/Wanda S Hansonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00064308660138307797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743403806545257301.post-46345885544214495002012-02-23T18:29:30.396-06:002012-02-23T18:29:30.396-06:00It's always tough trying to please others, for...It's always tough trying to please others, for whatever reason or method. No one is ever completely satisfied, except me! Your talents in quilting and sewing far out reach mine and I've told you many times that I love to hear what you think about whatever I am doing. It is thanks to you that my quilting seams & matchups are so good now! (Who would have figured just pressing the seams OPEN would have such a fantastic result!!??) Also in following your lead (again) I have slowed my sewing speed down a bit and find I'm having better results in control, etc. And you can tell on me that I was definitely a speed demon on the sewing machine! LOL<br />Anyway I think you are making such a good decision. I hope whoever it was will one day realize that you were truly only trying to help and pass along your love of this wonderful craft. We should be happy at what we do for fun & pleasure and I know you will continue to enjoy yourself!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3743403806545257301.post-91765082997388698242012-02-23T11:14:35.314-06:002012-02-23T11:14:35.314-06:00Imani may be closing, and I do understand your doi...Imani may be closing, and I do understand your doing so, but I appreciate your advice and will continue to look to you for your pearls of quilting wisdom.
