Thanks, Dotty......I'll look it up and check it out. Applique is right up my alley. The designer for the Baltimore Album quilt pattern I will start soon signed my book, too. I love that... Those are keepers in our personal libraries for sure.

no way can I do 2 Kingwell patterns at once. It would be a fabric explosion. I'm anal enough that I would be too stressed... Lol.. This is how I keep myself from going crazy. My GTSB fabric organization. More in my fabric cabinet that I haven't cut into too.

Dotty....I like the Dear Hannah blocks....I found the pattern book on Amazon and bought it. Lol! I likely won't make the whole thing like I did SBS but I'll figure it out when I get the book. I'm hoping her instructions are well written for the pieced blocks. Thank you for the suggestion!

Anael

I love that saying Teen

Like I said before, I've never been this organized as with the GW! Blocks with sticky notes on them, blocks in ziplock baggies.......

I took another macro photo this morning. I still need a lot of practice.
The flower/buds of a Virginian creeper......I love that name hahaha!

Wow Anael, that is an amazing photo. You are an awesome photographer. I for one hope you don't give up your bike rides. All sewing all the time makes for a very dull life.

Teen, I checked out the Dear Hannah books on Amazon. They weren't that bad a price and the used books were an even better price. I just looked though. I have plenty of patterns and inspiration here to keep me busy. I just haven't found a pattern I can't live without yet. (for now.) Maybe that will change when I switch out of this path I'm in right now. I sort of have tunnel vision on only finishing UFO's right now. So have been pulling them out one by one from the bins I have them hiding in. You do have exactly the right idea in keeping only 1 or 2 projects going at one time and finishing them! I am working on walking that path.

Anael

Thanks so much Judith!! No I won't give up my bike rides I love it too much!!

Hopefully you can stick to the plan, I tried many times but failed just as many times Now the only plan I have is finishing one quilt before I can start a new one. Finishing an UFO as well would be even better, I know LOL.

I'm a pattern junkie, Judith, and a dot hoarder. I may not get to all my patterns in my lifetime but they are great inspirations.

Activity beyond sewing is important as is other hobbies. I like gardening and flower arranging. I forget to socialize sometimes when I'm quilt driven. So, I really have to do more of saying yes with invites... It's gonna hit 114 degrees tomorrow so we are going to the movies to sit in their AC...lol...

No UFO's is a wonderful place to be, trust me. Stay the course ladies...

Teen, 114 degrees!!!??? It is only 91 here today and I can't deal with that. Hope that it will be cooler to where you are moving. Good idea to go to the movies.

Teen

Yes, 114 degrees....maybe 115 forecasted. I am 50 miles from Palm Springs and it's expected to be on 117+ tomorrow. It's currently 114 there now. It's 96 here now so the house is shut tight... Ugh! Idaho is much more comfortable but they have a few days in triple digits...they also have a few days in single digit, which I have never experienced... Lol....

Anael

Oh my goodness, I can't imagine those temps!! Would be too hot for me.

I'm not a very social person.......I like being on my own.
