Sewsoft don't let other people discourage you from something you like. Quilting does take time and patience. If you have a good friend or family member that will go with you to help you pick out fabric see if they will help. I get in funks but I think mine is caused by attitudes of my family. I have finally finished my third grandson's Christmas stocking that I have been crosstitching since he was born last year. I have to get one more done by Thanksgiving so I can give it to my niece for her son. I did one for her daughter 6 years ago. My mother in law has turned that over to me now. She crosstitched stockings for the 7 grandchildren and I now have the greats and any to follow.

I also crochet on occasion. If I'm not sewing I'm doing something while watching tv at night or if we go to an event that I can take some kind of hand work with me I do.

Go with your heart Sewsoft. Don't give up.
