Quilters, start where you are

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.” Someone posted this saying recently in a Facebook business group I belong to. I was inspired by the simplicity of the idea.

Then I came upon this photo of an American soldier repairing uniforms in Iraq, and saw instantly how well the saying and the photo fit together.

What does the saying mean for you as a quilter? Just this: you don’t need perfect quilting skills. You don’t need all the most expensive tools and gadgets. You don’t have to dedicate every waking moment quilting (although we would all understand if you do!) Just quilt what you can with the fabric, the thread, the sewing machine, and the quilting room you have. Whatever you make will be plenty!
