Sometimes it is from 'overload'. I get so many ideas, I just can't settle on what to make.<BR/>I love your little cardinal! I wish I could see & hear one, but that looks lovely to me.<BR/>Your crochet is lovely too!meggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061112627819270427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569057628326185608.post-42876272431592966122008-07-31T20:35:00.000-05:002008-07-31T20:35:00.000-05:00Is it just me? Isn't anyone else giggling--just a...Is it just me? Isn't anyone else giggling--just a lil bit?--over that pun? Quilter's BLOCK? *grins* Or maybe I'm just a newbie and it's been punned to death already... sorry... *sheepish giggle*<BR/><BR/>{{{{{{{{{{{{Dawn}}}}}}}}}}} Yanno what darlin, I have this thing that happens when I'm drawing, and it NEVER seems to fail... three quarters of the way through I think "it's awful, it's ruined, I'm no good, why did I EVER think I could DO this!!" etc etc... and that's the point when I have to NOT give up. <BR/><BR/>I learned it in art class, when I consistently hit the 3/4 point too late to start over because my projects were due the next day... and I suspect maybe that's why we had so many projects and such short due dates, lol, so that we would *have* to finish them.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, what I learned is never give up at the 3/4 point, which is where I think your cardinal might be, yes? It WILL come together, it honestly will. Take a break if you need to, start another block if you need to--but leave that cardinal as is for a couple days at least, until you have some perspective.<BR/><BR/>When you're not on a deadline, you can deliberately put something away in a drawer somewhere for a week, and then look at it again. If it still bugs you, then change it--or do a giveaway, lol, since so many of us (including me!) thought "wow, that's great!" when we first saw it *eyebrow waggle*--but anyway, I'm willing to bet that you'll see it differently when you let it sit and DON'T let yourself look at it for a week.<BR/><BR/>If you can last a week. I never can, lol.<BR/><BR/>Best to you and whooo that lace is a pretty purple,<BR/>CathCathiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075304137388894835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569057628326185608.post-41302694606633436632008-07-31T19:55:00.000-05:002008-07-31T19:55:00.000-05:00I am sorry about the quilters block.

To me he looks beautifully done and just the way he should!<BR/>Everyone experiences "quilter's block". With me it can be the summer heat or any kind of anxiety that puts me off thinking creatively. I often think I need time to myself and a quiet house to get anything done. Sometimes you can be too close to a project for too long, and you just need some time away from it for a while. Then when you come back to it you will see it differently.Knot Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03918110407758829513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569057628326185608.post-55342801219759280102008-07-31T08:12:00.000-05:002008-07-31T08:12:00.000-05:00Hey Dawn!Thanks for coming by the other day and yo...Hey Dawn!<BR/>Thanks for coming by the other day and your lovely comment! The Dear Jane quilt is really not as bad as I thought as I got the software- it has patterns in it (unlike the book) which makes the undertaking 10 times better! You can also enlarge them instead of using the 4.5 inch blocks. <BR/>As for quilters block- been there, and rest assured- it does go away. I usually put it away and will work on something else and eventually I find it just pops into my head what to do and I am back at it. BTW love the block- your cardinal is beautiful and looks like the real thing! I can practical see the family in your yard now.Carahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02672136758876192059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1569057628326185608.post-6765604006551364792008-07-31T08:06:00.000-05:002008-07-31T08:06:00.000-05:00When did you change your blog's header?
