    Please forgive me for sounding so silly, but, I am so excited. For a looong time I have had pieces for a quilt cut and sitting around waiting for me to overcome my fear of sewing them together. Why, you ask? Curved seams, that's why. My fear didn't keep me from wanting to do the quilt because I really love it, and usually no matter how hard it might be, if I really love it, I will figure it out. Finally, today I sat down and tried, and low and behold they went together easily, slow, yes, but no seams to redo!! So will I learn from this and give new things a try---hmmm, we'll see. Y-seams still have me a little shakey and worse still-trying to figure out how to post a picture here so I could show all of you some of my stuff you have helped me with. Reading the instructions on the "pictures" page is like reading chinese for me. Thanks for letting me share.

    Its great when you achieve things especially when you really want to do something but you keep putting it off for fear of not doing it as well as you picture it in your head! How do I know this you ask...
