Frustrations and learning

Working on this quilt has been a learning experience.  I'm not one who handles obstacles well, especially those of my own making. I don't allow myself learning curves for things either, which is not a good thing.  Today it all came spiraling down as I began some actual quilting.  I had to undo the first pass and then a couple of small boo boos along the way.  So many times in the past this would have caused me to put the project down and not finish for a long time if ever.

But I've learned a little patience and having a home for the quilt, or at least a tentative one, makes a difference.

The biggest fear that I have is my addiction. I've got a project I'm crocheting for Christmas, I'm knitting a shawl for a friends mom and I'm sewing this quilt for another one's. I know what I want to crochet next, I have my next knitting project in my head and there are many fabric possibilities.
I fear I'm hooked. Hooked on the hook, needled by the needles, etc.  I must remember it's a hobby and not a substitute for human interaction.
