Oh how perfect! I love the way it ends by reminding us to not disdain the beginners coming behind us. I remember how the quilting community here embraced me when I was a beginner - they encouraged me and that gave me the freedom to grow & enjoy my new-found hobby! If they had not been welcoming or encouraging, I would have never become a quilter and my life would be totally different today.
Very nice! I especially love the last part - I remember feeling so inadequate as a new quilter. Now I can actually share what I've learned over the years...and boy is that a nice feeling. :) Hope you are finding much time to sew!
Wonderful words and although I am. Not a beginner when I see how much some of you quilters accomplish I still feel very inadequate at how slow I have become as the years go by. Blessings Sandra
It's a great reminder. This year, I finally came to the realization that I do not have to feel guilty about UFOs. I have started to follow your example to send tops to quilters who will finish them for charity projects. I sent out 4 UFOs and 1 new top last week and am scouting the sewing room for more. It feels good to know they are gone. I'm still dealing with stash guilt.
Wonderful words to live by!
