Preferences

Here's my latest set of hand dyes and threads. This is fuchsia and grape. Love it! They are resting on my completely pieced together pink and cream quilt background. On to making a sandwich. Quilt sandwich silly! Not peanut butter and jelly.


Auntie Jude asked me a question that I thought interesting.

Do you prefer designing or executing the design more?

After giving this a little thought, I think I have to say....it depends.
  • I tend to get bored with piecing fabrics together, so that part of the process I usually don't prefer.
  • I really enjoy designing projects, the sketching/drawing part is fun for me.
  • I enjoy painting, so surface design is fun for me.
  • I enjoy free motion stitching, but don't enjoy struggling with larger quilts on my short arm.
  • I'm not totally crazy about putting binding or hanging sleeves on.
  • I really, really enjoy looking at the end result, especially if it's successful.

How about you? How would you answer this question?
