Funny you should ask this question today. I've dreamt of quilting the last 2 nights. From selecting the fabrics (one was made with some gorgeous purples, and I am NOT a purple kind of girl!), to such accurate cutting, quick sewing and the final product -- they were LOVELY! I almost can't wait to go to bed tonight!

Not sure if I do but I sure think about quilting when I am laying in bed and cant sleep, wake up in the middle of the night and look at the ceiling.. I wake up in the morning usually anxious to start my new best greatest idea..

that I saw a new machine that had stretching capabilities like a marshmallow.
It was a white, puffy machine, and looked like it was "breathing"... :lol:

Was your pillow still there when you woke up? So funny, but that would be nice, an adjustable sewing machine....hhhuuuummmmm.

I kept saying, "If only it had a sleeve on the other side..." but I didn't want to change to another dress because that one made me look so awesome (far better than I'd look in real life).
Sorry, I don't mean to hijack your thread, but I've been wondering all day what to make of the dream. Maybe I need to quilt another sleeve onto the dress, lol.

But it shows you do have an open mind :XD:

Yeah, I dream about quilting. I've been asked to do a memorial quilt for a friend who lost her son in the military. Been trying to think of an appropriate pattern to surround the photos I intend to use because we only have a few (the quilt will be a surprise) and I don't want it to look too feminine. Dreamed about the finished quilt a couple of nights ago while on a trip out of town and when I woke up I knew exactly what pattern I want to use. Now to get sewing.

Someone on the show speculated that dreams are practice for life. Primitive man might have dreamed of being chased by a bear and what they would do. We may dream of things that could happen now (though I suppose that being chased by a bear is still possible) and how we would deal with it.
It hones our skills and lets us act out events. If you dream that a quilt comes out LOVELY, doesn't that tell yourself that it IS possible and give you the push to achieve what you dreamed?
Just random thoughts for the day. :)

I also dream about quilting. The other night I was trying to work out the math for a quilt before I went to sleep -- I dreamed about that stupid quilt all night but I knew when I woke up how to figure it out (duh) :lol: :lol: :lol:

I dream all the time. Some have been prophetic (won't get into that) but I do, often, dream of quilting and buying fabric. I especially love the buying fabric ones. It's almost as good as the real thing. I have dreampt that I won the big one and went into my LQS and told her I wanted 3 yards of everything!! I would LOVE for that one to come true! If that ever happened I would have to turn one of the bedrooms into a fabric room. I have also gone to sleep with a problem and have awakened with the answer. The subconcious is a funny thing.

I go to sleep planning quilts. I dream in color most of the time, and man...if I could get 3 yards of everything, I know I would be dreaming! :XD:
I think I breathe, quilt. Now to just get more done and stop day-dreaming! :XD:
