It is no exaggeration that standing in the quilt store with the books open in my hands stands out as the single most important epiphany in my quilting journey! The riot of intentional colour, use of black and white to "ground" the composition...revelation! These ideas and photos really boosted me into a whole new level. I am loving collecting the appropriate fabrics and have a Parts Department in full swing now!WesternWilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12765821422247317378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-31222853817766319192007-09-12T00:45:00.000-04:002007-09-12T00:45:00.000-04:00Fabulous guideline, it could really cover life...h...Fabulous guideline, it could really cover life...have ago, take a risk,do what's right for you, etc etc.<BR/>Enjoying the walks through Paris, loved the alien!

I've always been more of a block person than a quilt person (does that make sense?). I can't make two blocks exactly the same. Making 20 or more for one quilt would bore me to death! Well, I just wouldn't do it. But fooling around with different colors and prints and even construction techniques within the block... that's fun! (This could explain why I have so many orphan blocks!)Magpie Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09930036522719103192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-50457627953217574452007-09-10T02:30:00.000-04:002007-09-10T02:30:00.000-04:00I recently checked out Collaborative Quilting from...I recently checked out Collaborative Quilting from the library. I like most of the quilts -- though, like you, I don't love all of them. I do like the idea of the parts department. Frankly, I liked the interviews and write-ups about the process much more than the instructions on how to make the blocks. It was the idea of the process that was great -- and I loved Freddy's take on the quilting process -- do what you love, farm out the rest :0).atethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13563533672161608587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-13435446859186943962007-09-08T22:09:00.000-04:002007-09-08T22:09:00.000-04:00....if the alien visited Bonnie...."take me to you.......if the alien visited Bonnie....<BR/><BR/>"take me to your leaeder(s) and enders"<BR/><BR/>....ok, it's TOO early on a unday morning......Studio Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03906722421691620895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14046597.post-66091655594561670082007-09-08T22:02:00.000-04:002007-09-08T22:02:00.000-04:00OK, can you tell my eyes are tired?

I frequently look at old houses around here and drool over their towers and the neat rooms that must be hiding in them :-)Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763869971803840742noreply@blogger.com
