While reading topics the other day I saw a tutorial for the folded dahlia and had to make one. Thentrue to form I had to make a miniature It is made in exactly the same manner as the larger one except I used three inch squares and spaced them 1/4 inches apart

smaller one on 12 1/2 inch square

Love the color combo in the large one and the little guy is adorable! I may have to try that. Looks like the big one had a baby!

This must be a sign, i have been wanting to do a Dahlia for ages, so i did a paper piecing one the other night, and now i see yours, they are beautiful. That will have to be my next project, thanks for sharing. :)

I make time for the things that are important to me .... sometimes, when I was still working, that meant staying up until 2:00
or 3:00 AM and then getting up at 7:30AM to get ready to go to work. Am I saying this is right for everyone? ...absolutely not...but it worked for me because I've never required a lot of sleep. It, also, helps me to set goals because I am motivated to finish whatever I start and I find that when I do that I find periods of time that before I thought weren't there. :wink:

It is so true, you have to make time for oneself in this busy lifestyle these days. I have rebel therapy on Saturdays with a group of ladies, we might do alotta talking but it is relaxing and we throw crafty ideas about to work on. :)
