I am a big planner, in my head and on paper. I marked the sections of this art quilt with post-it-notes, so I can could keep them all straight, right side up and in the right order. I am not sure what happened, but project took on a life of its own. 
Never before have I ripped out my stitches, trim, and zippers in an attempt to have straighter sides. What was I thinking?I have struggled with this over the last couple of months of putting this together,
which is not like me at all. My word for 2010 is "choose."
I choose to not let this project get the best of me.
Today it all came together. I am so over it - trying to make it perfect.I am an artist! I'm not perfect.
It's my art - my way. It is what it is.

ReplyDeleteI covet this quilt...just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThis piece is SO fun! Btw, I love your 2010 word, "choose." Reminding myself that I am always free to choose a different way of life, a different path, a different method, a different way of reacting to the lemons of life, etc. makes me feel much more powerful and in control of my life. Thanks for this reminder!
