    Someone's dyslexic (hee hee)… it's day 323, not 232.

    In your post, you asked if readers would want your original designs to be available.

    I'm iffy on this one. I think those quilts are so personal (although maybe those ones less so than other goddesses you've made) that it would be weird for someone else to make them.

    I know I've wanted to get into art quilting, and have no idea where to start- I just don't have an artists mind, and I've thought "what about a goddess that represents you, like the ones Leah shares" but I nix this idea, since that would be copying YOUR thing, not being MY thing. I feel in the same way- it would be really weird to make the same one you've already made, but maybe less weird now that we have "permission". So in that sense, could you sell instructions on creating a personal goddess quilt? Maybe like a template of how to create the body, how to create a circular design around it, and how to create rays (elements that seem to be common to many of the quilts). Then we all have permission to start art quilting by "copying" you, but in a way that doesn't feel like we are taking something so personal.

    Just some thoughts…

    I'm so glad I found your blog. I've been practicing my free motion quilting on scraps, and I think I'm ready to do it on a quilt now.

    Honestly. . I don't think this looks like a cheap variation of blowing wind. I really do think it looks MUCH more like hair!
