Quilting is mainly controlled craft. I learned quilting the right way with quilt police standing over me measuring that 1/4". I did well, but my quilts never met that expectation of the quilt police. When it comes to embroidery. I only enjoy it when I started working on crazy quilt because embroidery on CQ is crazy! So when I met boro cloths and eco dye I know that they are more to my style than trying to stay within the 1/4" of qulting. Love your eco dyed pieces - Hugs NatNat Palaskashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591758405112517434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673783619090301452.post-77306889031392122992014-07-21T02:50:06.045+01:002014-07-21T02:50:06.045+01:00Both of the above comments are so true.

I really don't think our personalities can be so tightly defined ... or why would a librarian who loves a place for everything and everything in its place, be sitting here next to a wild pile of un-sorted fabric?Julie Fukudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704374750710761269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673783619090301452.post-38075509836503085612014-07-20T21:39:10.972+01:002014-07-20T21:39:10.972+01:00It's good to come out of our comfort zones if ...It's good to come out of our comfort zones if only to establish what we don't like Benta AtSLIKstitcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02941463498655836647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4673783619090301452.post-7033511183090882312014-07-20T20:21:16.219+01:002014-07-20T20:21:16.219+01:00I think it is important to sit down and 'think...I think it is important to sit down and 'think too much' from time to time. <br />We all have elements of contrast in us and getting to understand our different sides is important. <br />Why does the 'control freak' love frayed boro and surprise dye? <br />My guess is that she needs a break from regulations and perfection, and she has learned that that it is an adventure not to know results beforehand.<br />You might not have enjoyed taking those embroidery stitches, but I DO enjoy looking at them!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.com
