I couldn't have said it better. This December of making no quilty gifts has been an eye opener & I don't plan to get caught up in the rush rush ever again.

I'm really really looking forward to it! After christmas, I will re-organize my quilting corner and work on diminishing my scraps via string quilting. Then! Who Knows what Glorious creations await! I'm excited!
