When I was little I once pulled and pushed my arm around my neck and back as far as it would go and then, as I showed my mother what I could do, I told her it hurt…

Good piece of advice! My hubby works in H&S and I do try and position myself ‘properly’ before sewing but it’s so easy to get hunched up, especially with FMQ. But I find it goes better if you ‘shake it out’ and relax!
-
Thanks Helen. Shaking out and relaxing is definitely good for the creativity.

Very good advise Ruth.
-
Thank you Lyn. It is all back to basics which we do all forget about don’t we.

I totally agree with your comments Ruth, and one thing I would add is to have a drink. It only needs to be a glass of water, or G & T if that is what you would like. I frequently get so engrossed that I forget to have a drink – could go 3 or 4 hours….. It also makes you get up and walk around – so two plusses!!! x

Oh gosh I forgot that one Sue! I have to go down two flights for a drink so it is a really good break when I go for one (unless my husband is kind enough to bring me one up.

If you are reading this I guess you are a patchwork and quilter! So I wonder how you keep your skills fresh, what you use to update your knowledge and if you constantly challenge yourself to try different…

My mistake! Apologies to Sue O’Riordan whose name is spelt completely wrong!
-
I found this interesting – for my pastimes, I am very into learning something new but not at all bothered about formal qualifications. So the approach that we have within UKQU is perfect for me!
-
Thank you Cheryl. Learning something new is what keeps us all young, excited and inspired. We can gauge our own degree of mastering a new skill or knowledge base and that is all that matters for most of us (oh….. and sharing the results with us all in the UKQU Continuing Development group of course. ).
