And please try to stop 'living in the minds of others' and putting your thoughts in their heads - I know from experience how hard it is to stop doing this but it's such a relief when you do...no more overly critical voice in your head, constantly telling you off for doing the wrong thing or not being good enough...you're a wonderful quilter, person, mother...and PP is very time consuming and I think, sorry, I know you're doing fantastically well and are very brave to attend a class in a technique you've not done before when the pattern is so complex. Lecture over, now time for the cheerleading! Keep going you can do it, we're all behind you and cheering loudly...you're fabulous!!Archie The Wonder Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16348256617269963755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306078820099687313.post-70262372791773148292012-01-22T14:09:58.715-05:002012-01-22T14:09:58.715-05:00Gorgeous snowy pics E!

And I know from experience that people aren't thinking half the things about you as you think they are! Comparing yourself to others will always give a false reading. Just keep dwelling on your own achievements and progress and take the time pressure off yourself. You're doing amazingly!

In a month of Sundays I'm not sure I could do what you are doing, not good with following instructions!<br /><br />Anyhoo, the snow is gorgeous, I wish we had some over here. <br /><br />Make a hot choc and settle down to do some quilting. This should be a nice relaxing project to work on, not something that is getting you all stressed!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16541883513682903531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6306078820099687313.post-58886256425872107312012-01-21T18:08:05.902-05:002012-01-21T18:08:05.902-05:00Ok .. being inspired by and aspiring to similar ta...Ok .. being inspired by and aspiring to similar talents of quilting royalty - allowed. Comparing yourself to quilting royalty so that you get all maudlin about your own abilities - definitely not allowed! You are very new to paper piecing and have opted for a mega design so cut yourself some slack and look at how well you ARE doing, not what you haven't got to yet! Keep at it, you'll get there even if it does mean you have to store up the tutorial sessions at the class and remember them to finish off at home! <br /><br />You are doing a great job and the effort will be worth it!
