un-attaching a quilt

Posted by Karen, Queen of Squishies on October 14, 2009, 3:03 pm

I have decided to make a confession, right out here in the open.
Sometimes I dilly dally around getting the final touches finished on a
quilt. Because. I'm just not ready to part with it yet. I want the
person to have it, yes. I made it for them. But I have a bad tendency
of getting attached to my quilts. And I sometimes hang on to them
longer than is absolutely necessary. There. I feel much better now.
Coming right out in the open with it is good.

Triplets -- the baby quilt I made for the baby born this summer is sitting
right here in my family room awaiting the label so I can ship it to Texas.
I sit and look at it... and love it... and say.... "Tomorrow!"

Hi Karen,

Good pics in an album (a real one - not on the web) don't do it for
you, eh?

I'm not surprised, and I think it may be a common phenomenon among
artists/craftspersons. After all, it's your creation - your "baby" -
right? Forgive yourself. I don't think it's abnormal, bad, or
wrong. My DW goes through it a lot, especially when there's no
deadline. I've suggested she make two of everything; one to give away
and one to keep. She gives me this funny glare that's indicative of
it being time to find somewhere else to be...

Same here, not that I've made that many but, even so.........after
spending THAT much time with anything, it becomes like living
breathing "thing", part of you and your creativity. I've got two done
for Christmas presents and it will be so hard to send them out. Donna
