I am currently working on a project that I said NO to multiple times. I said it very nicely, "I would be happy to help you with it, but I am not at all interested in making it myself." It's something I never wanted to make. I was right to say no, every time I was asked, because I am very much the reverse of happy, working on it. As a matter of fact, it may cure me of sewing anything for a long, long time. I had planned to take the fall off completely, because I was burned-out, making so many quilts over the past year or so, and to begin a Quilt of Valor in January. Instead, I may never get around to it again. Because, once again, not wanting to cause problems within a family, can be a heavy burden, and a bad thing. It's happened to me before, and when you put your foot down, everyone see's you as the villain, whereas if you just do as you're told to, by those who are used to making the decisions...My point is this. It's important to be listened to and respected. If there's a project you, for whatever reason, don't want to do, don't let anyone push or force you into complying with their wishes or will. Otherwise, you may find yourself resenting the people who triumph over your 'No' for a long time, but more than that, you may be robbed of your joy in doing what you once enjoyed, as I have now.
I name all my quilts, this quilt is Veruca S. (yep, the bad egg) because that's what it is. Don't care how, I want it now.
