Okay whose the designated stash raider here? I have to turn over the keys
to the sewing machine first. Maybe we should limit us to the handcrank.
Not sure after a few margarootles I could handle the treadle. I might unsew
all my fabric and the you'd be taking home strings. You'd have to listen to
me try several times to say perforated. with a lisp... Bring a quilt too.
If you are going to tuck me in, I ought to be tucked in under a quilt, no?
none on my bed right now. sniffle

Elena, being brave in Tx
Note to self: get a bigger design wall up.

OK, here's what we'll do. I'll mix the Margarootles, and you pull out all
the fabric. I'll dive in and start flinging stuff around, you have a
drink.
Then, you play with what I pulled out, see if anything sparks, and I'll
have
a drink. Then, we'll work together on the design wall, playing with the
ideas, and we'll both have a drink.

Then, we'll find somebody sober to take a picture of it, and to write down
our incoherent babblings about what we're doing. Next, we'll tuck you in
bed, pack up all your stash in my bag, and they can drive me home.

Hmm scare me? Nothing quilty.

Intimidate me for awhile.. surely.
Probably an art quilt where I was told to just.. do what I feel.
I'd probably go for a margarita. Blank slates challenge me. Toooo many
possibilitiesss... brain overload... smoke.. error error non-sequiter..
your
facts are uncorrelated...

Elena, winding down.

Is there a quilt you would love to make but it puts your stomach in
knots
to
think about making it? What would this terrifying quilt be and what
about
it
makes you tremble?
Mine is the Dahlia. Its the picking of the fabrics that has me
worried.
In
the book I have there are a couple of examples of color ways given. I
hate
all of them. But they do point out the importance of picking good
contrast
and coordinating patterns. This would be the best time to use a
scanner
to
take the diagram of the quilt to be able to preview fabrics in it. Its
on
my
to do list, right under long nap.
Ok..spill... lets see if there are lots of people intimidated by the
same
quilts.
