Realized I often do this, talk about the process (and sometimes wonder if I'm boring people, lol) and that my latest post of today, May 24, is just that, about the process of the current quilt. Who knew. Adding your button and have signed up! :-)Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-20108314301387150192015-05-23T10:43:22.952-04:002015-05-23T10:43:22.952-04:00I am about to start blogging about dying, sewing, ...I am about to start blogging about dying, sewing, and creating. I'm so glad that I've read your thoughts. Art is a process, a Life is a process. For example, I'm creating these mini dress forms for a craft show, that I will miss because of the process of making. When creating these forms, it wasn't just follow a pattern. Each form became a project in itself. Overall, the neck of the dressforms drove me crazy because it was to flimsy. Of course I thought I was doing something wrong, however my husband the Accountant said, "don't be so hard on yourself, you are CREATING a process for your dressforms, you are working out your vision. He makes so much sense, not only did I struggle with the necks, I struggle with the heads, or finial for a head. What was my focus for the dressform, it was the fabric and personality of each form. Once I figured that out, everything fell into place. So of. The great part of creating art, is that there are always questions, or ideas that develop during the process. My simple dressforms have now become little pieces of evolving art. <br />Thanks again for sharing your thoughts. I'm excited to move forward with more freedom.

I read this pwhen you first started doing this but when I saw the button recently on the blog of a quilter I follow, I realized it was high time to do more of this in my own blog. <br /><br />I actually hope it will make my posts more succinct since I often try to sum up the process when I post a finish. I'm already charting the process in a journal so why not put some of that on the blog too?

As bloggers, you are also teachers, especially for new quilters and this will provide greatly needed information that is not getting out there. I understand discussing the process and loving the individual steps, but are you aware that by discussing it, you are showing new quilters that it exists? I am soooo tired of seeing quilts posted on the web that are simply 2 lengths of fabric with some batting between and a half dozen lines of quilting stitches. That's not a quilt, it's a moving blanket. (Yes, I understand that this might be the first quilt, but it should never be the first 100.) I get so distressed when I read of quilters who leave huge areas on their quilts unstitched and then surprise, the batting pulls away and lumps on the first washing or quilters who think you lay the top over the batting and then quilt. They are so confused about how to attach that backing.<br /><br />For most of us, this is part of the process and we fail to realize that the instructions don't include so information. The instructions give you the fundamental steps, but assume that the reader will know what is missing. After all, it's just part of the process! Thank you for celebrating that process.MaryGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345916508161505192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-61529607139829858862012-10-09T13:31:46.356-04:002012-10-09T13:31:46.356-04:00I'm not an engineer...but my dad is one!I'm not an engineer...but my dad is one!Rossiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987463672893902604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576732685143160314.post-77477164065404552222012-10-08T22:35:29.716-04:002012-10-08T22:35:29.716-04:00I too posted the pledge to my blog and want to try...I too posted the pledge to my blog and want to try harder to do the same!
