It's now sitting in my living room like a tombstone, (my sanctuary, by the way, far from the TV) and it can't go any further into the house. I have to give away a sofa and if I'm lucky it will just fit the same footprint. Am I interested in weaving? Always was, like so many other things. My life is tooooooooooo short for all my interests.

I can relate. I now have an art table on one side of my bedroom/sewing room with all kinds of supplies. My first idea was to do art quilts. I have all the tools, plus dvds, etc. Made one art quilt.I realized that all quilts are art quilts with wonderful color play, optical illusions, etc. I just invested in Derwent intense color pencils. Now I would like to make mandalas on fabric or draw zentangles. The list goes on and on but I am thankful that in my retirement years, I have lots to look forward to and hope that I can accomplish some of those projects. I am now looking at quilting books with patterns that I don't even remember seeing. :-D :roll: :-D
