My photo is not all that great but this is a gift that my sister, Heather gave to me. I love it. Another sister of mine was talking to me last week and told me about a piano teacher someone she knows had. The teacher had instructed her student and the student went home and didn't follow the instructions the teacher had given her. The teacher asked her why she didn't do it and then proceeded to tell her student this. When I give you instruction it is my gift to you, when you follow my instructions it is your gift to me. We keep giving these gifts to each other.
Isn't that a nice way to think. I think you can think of this same lesson as we put our quilts in the fair or quilt shows. As someone critiques our quilts they are giving instruction so that we can improve. It is their gift to us. Not everyone likes to have people critique their quilts but it is a great way to improve.
