I could not take care of my children. It was so hard for me. Now after all this time I have found the lesson to be learned from this hard time. I am sure that you have heard all the LDS reasons for this hard time in your life, I heard them too. Take your time to grieve but then look up in body and spirit and try again. You are becoming a better person. Sometimes it is a painful metamorphoses. One day just like me you will look back and say "Dang that was hard, but I am so glad it happened!!" I love Sister and I have never met you!!Hang in there!!

You know your quilting is loved. I feel you're very talented too of course but I'm not really a fan of over-quilting. I feel quilts should be fluffier than is going to result with the tight quilting that's popular now. It's the only reason that I can imagine that someone would be unhappy if they got a quilt done by you. This shouldn't come as a surprise to your customer though. If it was a surprise to them, they really were not looking. That makes it their fault, not yours, so no worries. Try not to stress.greelyritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11337031538589833151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932593447088657785.post-57928385887463858622012-09-21T07:52:08.662-06:002012-09-21T07:52:08.662-06:00I am so sorry you had this experience and have tak...I am so sorry you had this experience and have taken it so badly. I hope you take heart from all the comments above as I totally agree with all of them! You are a very gifted quilter and among my favourite quilters on the net. I recently made a perfectly valid comment on twitter, meaning to be helpful and friendly, and got a lot of abuse back from someone who was stuck in her own views and angry with the world. That did upset me to start with but I came to see that it was her problem having such a negative outlook and not mine for being friendly and helpful. It did upset me to start with though (even though I was in no way at fault) and I can so imagine how upset you must have been after doing all this beautiful work. As said before however, there will be always someone upset with you for some reason, whatever you do. And if they do not like your quilting, why ask you to do a quilt in the first place? They can know through your blog and net articles what your work is like. I for one would be honoured to have you quilt one of my tops as I know you will think about it and design and enhance with the quilting as best you can (and, I know, that's always sublime!). You accepted a top for quilting, you did your utmost best and delivered what is I am sure lovely work, true to your style. You can do no more. Searching through my Pinterest quotes;<br />"Life is too short to stress yourself with people who don't even deserve to be an issue in your life". "Some people come in your life as blessings, others come in your life as lessons", "Take pride in how far you have come and have faith in how far you can go", "worrying does not empty tomorrow of its trouble, it empties today of its strength". (knew my pinterest quotes board would come in handy:-) So don't let this person upset you. You did your best, you did what you promised. Zillions of people love your work. Positive to the future, people like that don't deserve space in your thoughts. God bless xxx (ps,this also happened to a long arm quilter friend of mine, I saw the quilt, it was perfect and I loved it. Another one of those people.. it happens!)Rafael's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09046052475100767641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4932593447088657785.post-13884703603810248072012-09-21T07:46:44.504-06:002012-09-21T07:46:44.504-06:00You are WAY too hard on yourself.

I HATE flying. A lot.LOL.<br /><br />...I could send you a couple of quilts to "practice" on...OK, just kidding, LOL, seriously now. We aren't going to please everyone. I know it is disappointing when someone is less than thrilled with what we have done, but keep in mind...1. opinions are just that, opinions. 2. If we all loved and appreciated the same thing, in the same way there would be one line of fabric in one colorway. 3.Learn from it. We have to learn from it. If you want to hear a really long quilt/learning experience I will be happy to share it privately :-).Your work rocks (in MY opinion, LOL).

I put that movie on for my two boys recently and they laughed their little heads off!<br /><br />Second, I can't imagine anyone being less than ELATED by the transformation your quilting would make to their quilt top. Even if you were quilting in the dark, standing on one foot, with a raging fever, during an EARTHQUAKE, your quilting would still be better than what most of us will ever achieve. I agree with the others who have said that this disatisfaction probably had nothing to do with you or your quilting. Some people are just deeply unhappy and go through life projecting blame on others. Your work brings so much beauty and inspiration to others.
