I find that many days are spent in just thinking, er planning, about quilting. I have all these gorgeous fabrics and I just keep planning what I will do with them in the future.
Then , of course, I go out and buy more for a different kind of project. Today, while running routine errands (bank, wine store and library) I just happened upon the Village Library's annual book & bake sale. I cleaned them out of quilt books for $5.00 and two kinds of cookies for $1.00. Oh, I'm such a big spender. Then I just happened to drive an extra 10 miles to a local craft store and stocked up on 12 different homespuns. I think they will make an awesome table cloth with placemats.
I don't particularly like kits as there are usually one or two fabrics that just don't do it for me. Part of what I love about quilting is choosing my fabrics. Sometimes it starts with just one particular pattern that knocks my socks off. After that one fabric I enjoy finding complimentary fabrics to fill in a quilt.
So for the last two days I have been "just thinking". Tomorrow I work on Lynn's special surprise quilt as he is going fishing and I will have 12 hours to work.
