Do You Have Quilting Gremlins?

First, watch this video from Patricia Lawless...

 

So, do you have Quilting Gremlins?

 

And I'm not talking about the little things that move your rotary cutter & hide your pieced blocks!

 

What I'm mean is- do you have those voices in your head that say "you're not a good quilter" or "you're not talented enough to make that quilt." 

 

Sound familiar?

 

I've heard many, many piecers give me their quilt top & tell me it's a terrible.  I've heard guild members say they'll never be able to do "difficult" quilts.  I've heard students say they'll never improve.

 

So here's what I want to tell you- you ARE a good enough quilter!  Your work IS NOT terrible!  Jump in & try that pattern you've always loved but have hesitated about starting. 

 

This is our craft, our hobby!  It's supposed to be fun & freeing & expanding- so squash those gremlins & try that new technique you've been scared of....
