Have you ever heard the tradition of Amish ladies who make quilts and include a deliberate mistake in the making? It's to show they aren't trying to out-perfect in their work the perfection in God's work, a gesture of humility. I don't try to make mistakes on purpose because I make enough of them from natural causes. Do you see the worst one I made on the bunny drawing?
It's the basket. The handle is too far forward. I didn't notice this until it was already affixed to the card, and then I thought oh well, there's my holy imperfection for the day! Bet I could find lots more if I looked again!
She is so sweet! When I have to patch a mistake I usually end up with a better project! How does that happen?
