Book recommendations are also appreciated. Your blog is a relaxed blog, almost like having a conversation with a friend over a up of tea. The thing about your blog is that it's an eclectic gathering of topics beautifully photographed that inspires, gently encourages and also gives me a quiet moment of reflection in recognizing a kindred soul. Please continue writing and sharing because I look forward to each posting.<br /><br />Thanks so much.<br />Arti Mader<br /><br />P.S.

The problem is starting another long term quilt. I have a couple that I still need to quilt. Maybe once those are completely finished.... I love love to paper piece, maybe this will be easier than I thought. Where are the patterns for paper piecing? Or do you draw them from the book?

I have never made a DJ style quilt as it just looks to be overwhelming! How to choose all the needed fabrics, where to start--and, as you say, some of those difficult blocks!

I know about the design wall issue, we live in an 800 sq ft cabin, sometimes there's just no place to hang those blocks. Hoping your blog continues to greet me in the morning, nothing you post is boring and I don't just look at the photos. It's like having a good friend out there telling me about her day, quilting or no quilting.

I think the design wall is a perfect idea at your point of your journey. I also love the Dear Jane group as well as SQT because what better way to accomplish our dreams, than with others that share our same dreams<3 I finished the last block for row A on my Dear Jane last evening. So I am pretty pumped about 1 row completely done!
