Who wants perfect? Bah humbug. Perfection = no happy accidents. Was at the UN building long ago. Docent pointed to huge Persian carpet on wall.

"they...You don't need to see it this way! <br />"they are a function of needing reading glasses and my flaws and failures as a person"<br /><br />The fact that you're not a machine -- that things you make vary -- does not reflect your flaws and failures as a person. It's a strength of being a person, and a reality, but not a flaw, I think. This strikes my ear a bit like a body image comment that implies we should look like Barbies -- which we shouldn't. Do you really feel this way about quilting? Reading your book, I hear the voice of an artist who embraces variation and diversity of visions, and the unexpected evolution of a craft piece that turn it into beautiful art.Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8119596690600748752.post-56291206589526460412012-07-02T09:39:51.297-05:002012-07-02T09:39:51.297-05:00Holy cow, Jacquie, that is just stunning!
