It is exciting but don't expect others to share in your enthusiasm. It is really wonderful when other like minded peers join in but I try it to let it dampen my spirits if I am the only one excited.

I think removing yourself from expectations may be the freeing part. This is not so much about me, or quilting, but the idea. That is why I put this post in this forum.
I have a friend who just lost her husband to a long illness and she is struggling to find herself, but honestly, she is only one soul I see struggling with ideas out of the "norm". thank you for your input.

To ones on self be true, if not one does not find true happiness. I answer to no one but God for who I am and what I do. How others look at me is not important to me or them, I leave others to their own life to live as they choose.

freedom is in being who you are regardless of where you are. Being not accepted because you don't 'believe' as others around you 'believe'-live as others live-be as others be, is not an excuse to betray yourself or who you are.
A person is an unique being and is not meant to be a carbon copy of others. Enjoy who you are and pity those who can't be.
Alone is NOT loneliness!

I guess that would depend on whether you " stray from the norm" because you want to discover something , or just to force a reaction. I sure we all know individuals who do THAT for attention, and it really is annoying.
