Getting Organized


Gwen and her quilts

Just came back from Gwen Marston's quilt retreat in Elk Rapids a few days ago and I'm busy trying to get organized with my sewing, work, writing and home (we're remodeling again!)

I came back from Gwen's with a renewed view of my quilting and some strong resolutions:
No new fabric for one solid year! That's not as drastic as it sounds since I have enough fabric in my stash to open my own quilting shop. It's time to stop being so wasteful and use it.

I'm also going to work only on original patterns (or classic blocks) for the next year - no one else's ideas and books. Let's see if my quilting gets more innovative and I develop a style that's truly my own.
