This episode is Part 2 of 2 in a topic we're excited to explore. On this episode, we'll examine how to overcome outer judgement. (Last episode, we looked at how to deal with your inner critic). Whether comments about your quilts are well-meaning or not, having our quilting feel under attack is very stressful and hurtful. We walk through some strategies for dealing with off-putting comments and moving forward in a positive way. We also share details about Quilts of Honor, our fave tools for hand-embroidery, and a fun binding trend we're seeing.
