1. Stitch what makes you happy. If the "strange colour combination" or "weird design" makes your heart soar, stitch it up! It's your creation and your quilt.
2. Measure, cut and stitch as accurately as you can. Straight seams, accurate points and dead on intersections will help avoid frustration and make the whole process much more enjoyable for you the quilter.
3. Ignore nasty "quilt comments" from others and refer to rule #1.
4. Find a quilt friend or friends and spend time with them doing what you both love.

1. It doesn't matter how long it takes me. It's not a race.
2. If I am tired, don't do anything that might have to be undone.
3. Have fun, fun, fun.
4. Find someone to share my progress with.
5. It's ok to put a UFO away for awhile, or find someone else who will love it and finish it.

1. Have Fun!
2. Be creative for a sense of real accomplishment
3. Don't be afraid to try something different, or harder, or easier
4. I don't make quilts to order, only what I love
5. Perfection is wonderful, FINISHED is more wonderful

1. All quilts are art.
2. There is no “only” way to do anything.
3. If your work pleases you, that’s what matters.
4. Not every project must be finished.
5. Share what you’ve learned with others.
6. Stretch yourself and grow.
sorry, I got carried away...teehee
