In this episode I explore some of the reasons we all 'overthink' and 'stress about our quilting.I talk about when it's good and when it isn't. Everything from the dreaded quilt police to the positive 'stress' of learning and being creative.This episode first aired on my YouTube channel in 2025 and a lot of my subscribers told me they found it really useful for their own quilting mindset. I hope you do too.If you want to see the original YouTube episode and read the viewer comments go here: https://youtu.be/YQPJ_SJT9ys?si=giUbOmEb4cMhnzQ2For podcast show notes go here: https://scrapfabriclove.com/scrap-chat-podcast/

This episode is for any quilter who has gotten upset or hurt by the way a quilt they made was received by someone...Honestly this one is a bit of tough love, but I've been told it helped some folk to shift their mindset about the way they gift quilts.This episode was originally published in 2025 on my YouTube channel.
