    Default Do you find yourself doing a happy dance over tiny things during the quilting process

    I love it when I need a certain color thread and I go to search through my thread collection and I find the perfect match! I had to piece a batik strip to make it long enough to finish a project. I was amazed that the join was almost invisible. Happy dance!


    Please share what little thing you find makes you happy as you make a quilt?

    Oh, the joy when points match or don't get cut off when piecing. That makes me dance and sing.

    When I can get the last piece needed from the fabric I have on hand -
    When the thread runs out at the end of the seam -
    When the final binding join is "right" the first time I sew it -
    When I still like my fabric choices after the item is finished -
    When my machine is cooperative -
    When a glitch/mistake is noticed while it is still easy to fix it -

    Bearisgray - I like all of your comments - in fact all of the comments given made me smile

    I would like to add
    When “I” notice a glitch/mistake but it blends in perfectly & is not noticeable or standing out!

    Oh Lordy yes! Sometimes just getting a small section of a difficult block brings excitement to my day and a dance it will get. "I got it! I got it! Ta ta! I got it!"
