    Your color combo in the pieced work you did today is just gorgeous, one of my favorites.

    Glad you are taking your time on Duchess Reigns. Art such as this deserves to be savored not just as a finished piece, but in the making of it as well.

  2. My favorite time to quilt is January. Why, because here in Appleton, WI the temperatures tend to hover in the single digits either above or below zero in January. I am not seduced to go outside. Instead working in a warm home, especially doing handwork under a warm quilt is sheer bliss in January. It also feels like a reward for making it through the busy holidays. Is there a bad time to quilt? I don't think so.

  3. Started to quilt in december. Found your blog three months ago and now I am addicted to fmq. I read your blogs with interest and admire you for being so strong! I learned a lot. Thank you for everything and wish you all the luck with your family!

    why the heck do we do this?

    I ask myself that all the time! I'm just glad you do what you do, so maybe someone else is glad I do what I do, and if so that's why the heck we do this. 😉

    Lol Nina! Yes, I'm so glad you do what you do. James and I recently watched Sita Sings the Blues again and he sang 'Rama's great" for the rest of the day. Your work makes me smile, so yes, I hope you continue to do it and I'll remind myself of this anytime I question why the heck I do it again!

    Cheers,

    Leah

    Quilters – the only group of people who cut up perfectly good fabric into small pieces and then sew it back together. Logical? No. Fun? Absolutely! (And my husband says it keeps me out of the bars!)

  7. I agree! Here in Ottawa Ontario winter goes to minus 30 degrees celcius so making quilts inside just makes sense!

    Love this new design .. like so many of your others i will have a go..
    Im pretty sure with different colour fabric and thread you create a different look each time .

    Interesting discussion. I work at a pain clinic and someone said that to me today saying they are a 3 time cancer survivor. The problem I'm having with my quilt is way too many options for what to quilt on it!
