Rejected but going to Lafayette

 Well I was turned down for Quilt Nationals along

with some very famous people.

So now to plan my 2017 entry.

 On the plus side because of the knee surgery I

really need another quilt for Barb and my show

at TAF opening October 31 so it will be shown

there. Lots of hand stitching on this one.

I am making progress on the 12x12  cash and carry

for the show. All in all a good week so far.

Getting inspired

 I keep saving photos of quilts and buying books on

Modern Quilting. The clean lines appeal to me.

Looking forward to winter to experiment on something

new and different.  For now though I am making some

more little landscapes. I think I am going to  just

make what appeals to me in the future.

As I make small quilts for quick sale in the

galleries I am in I think this is a waste of time.

I could be working on something creative.

BUT

It means not having the small items that the

average person can afford.

It is a hard choice.
