Just call me Iris:
Logical, analytical, dignified, and wise. Studious by nature and may prefer books to people. A serious person, but capable of making others laugh with a dry sense of humor. Friends always benefit from Iris’s advice.
Symbolism: Over the centuries the iris has come to symbolize faith, wisdom, hope, and promise in love.
Which Flower are You?
brought to you by Quizilla
This week’s SBQ was suggested by Kimberly and Lili and is:
How do you feel about staying totally true to a pattern? Do you feel that you have to rip out stitches to fix a mistake or do you feel it’s acceptable to incorporate a mistake into the design?
For me, while these two questions are related, they are also two very different questions and so I will answer them separately.
1.) First off, how do I feel about staying totally true to a pattern? Well, if you have read this blog for any length of time, you know that for me patterns are really just guidelines! 
While I stay fairly true to most patterns, I also don’t hesitate to change something if I don’t like it.
2.) What about the mistakes that I make? Mistakes?! What mistakes?! Of course, I never make mistakes while stitching… (ROTFL) Seriously though, whether or not I feel like I have to fix a mistake just depends on the mistake. If it is serious and my rows don’t match up, then I fix it. However, if it is something small (like I put the wrong color stitch somewhere) I seldom fix it. I feel it gives the piece character.
