"It will never be seen from a galloping horse." (acerca dos erros de costura)Vi esta citação no blog da Nettie e concordo inteiramente com ela. Alguns dias atrás, uma senhora que dava os primeiros passos no patchwork, estava um pouco decepcionada com os resultados do seu primeiro trabalho. Pedi-lhe para se afastar e olhar de novo. A mesma coisa vista a uma maior distância agradou-lhe bastante mais.
Um quilt é mais do que técnica. É o jogo de cores, brincar com os padrões, combinar formas de maneiras diferentes. Claro que alguma técnica é necessária mas isso consegue-se com o tempo. E então poderemos olhar os nossos quilts muito mais perto.
Na minha primeira tentativa para fazer um flying geese (vôo dos gansos) tive alguns bons resultados-
"It will never be seen from a galloping horse." (about sewing mistakes)
I saw this quote in Nettie's blog and I agree entirely with that. Some days ago, a lady who was taking her first steps into patchwork and quilting, was sad about her work. I told her to go a little farther back and to look again. She saw something different and was happier.
A quilt is much more than technic. It’s a game of colors, it’s playing with patterns, it’s combining shapes in different ways. Of course some technical skills are important but with time we’ll get it. Than we can we see our quilts much close. In my first attempt to make a flying geese I had some good results

Resultados menos bons
E alguns resultados mesmo mausAnd some really bad results
Acabei por pôr de lado este trabalho. Dois dias atrás, quando procurava alguma coisa para treinar o quilting à máquina encontrei este projecto inacabado. Lembrei-me das minhas palavras e acabei-o. Perfeccionismo é mesmo um dos nossos piores inimigos.
I put this patchwork away. Two days ago I was looking for something to train machine quilting and I found my little flying geese patchwork. I remembered what I have told to the lady and I finished it.
Perfectionism is really one of our worst enemies.
