Funny thing, I think I might have become a probationer constable in the quilting police, since acquiring my Amish quilts. I had always loved quilts, even made a couple - badly, lol- until I had those and really understood how a good quilt is built, and the skills required. So now I know too much to ever try making one again. And it has made me very conscious of building my own stitching skills, getting smaller, neater, exploiting the quality of stitchery, undoing it when the mistakes scream but leaving it when showing the hand is worth it. And I am enjoying it more as a result.
But I will never be as skilled or talented a stitcher as those I enjoy learning from. Especially those Amish ladies I met all those years ago...
