It seems as if I lose myself when I am constantly about keeping up with others - I'm older and have been quilting for so many years and I have tried it all. Nothing is new except gorgeous fabric lines. When I look behind I see that I have expressed myself in a void until the internet came along. Now, like yourself, I want to focus on what makes my work important - how it sings out my name. Always informed by tradition, I love contemporary takes on the vintage patterns, but I resent it when someone takes a Churn Dash and calls it their own! I'll stop.<br />Keep up the GREAT work.thevanillayearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325907351557450453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859330861058263556.post-84990764736856676732015-03-23T10:42:27.044-07:002015-03-23T10:42:27.044-07:00Your comments really resonate with me - why am I d...Your comments really resonate with me - why am I doing something that I don't enjoy with fabric that I don't like? Obligation should never enter into the equation. Maybe art quilts aren't as "useful" in the eyes of some but I really don't want to make a baby quilt or an apron or a pot holder. I don't care for kids and I don't cook. : ) Good luck in your endeavors.Kelly Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414035729580447640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859330861058263556.post-2093057577809544512015-03-18T23:59:04.524-07:002015-03-18T23:59:04.524-07:00I love this!

I'm reading your posts and I'm a...Hi there! I'm reading your posts and I'm at a similar point in my making. I've sworn off guild challenges and swaps and the like because they were the only things that ever got finished, while my other, much more fabulous ideas remained just that - ideas. To make a project that's really me, I have certain colors I love; oranges and pinks and green-blues, combined with lots of pale neutrals. I love improv but I also love the alternative geometry of English Paper Piecing. Starting with fabric that makes your heart sing feels so indulgent. Conversely, there's nothing sadder than a 2 yard cut of something that you used to think was fabulous, still sitting unused on the shelf, years after you fell out of love with it. Use it while you love it! became my new goal the first time that happened to me. I don't have much time right now for crafting, but I'm fantasizing about making a giant braided rug out of all the old fuddy-duddies I've fallen out of love with, so all my lovely still-treasured fabrics will have space to be admired and well used. I suppose that's enough rambling from me but thanks for posting, it's validating to come across someone else who's questioning the status quo.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859330861058263556.post-35855466090840884482015-02-23T06:35:24.323-08:002015-02-23T06:35:24.323-08:00I don't read many blogs anymore, but I was on ...I don't read many blogs anymore, but I was on the computer, clicked on yours, and SURPRISE!

I didn't know anything. But one time, I asked my hubs why he was so good to me, and he said that to me. It absolutely changed the way I approached conflicts with him. Bad times? No prob! Matter of fact, I got a birthday card from him that says "you and me together? 2009 didn't stand a chance against us" and it still makes me smile every time I see it. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859330861058263556.post-39065774660061971122013-04-10T20:43:30.884-07:002013-04-10T20:43:30.884-07:00Beautiful. :) Just like you and Jay. :)Beautiful. :) Just like you and Jay. :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791242249964743766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-859330861058263556.post-28233014810891432052013-04-08T23:19:48.289-07:002013-04-08T23:19:48.289-07:00What a beautiful post.
