Bonnie is not only a fabulous quilt designer, she is also my wonderful colleague and friend. This quilt is from her new book, Scraps and Shirttails II, which I had the incredible privilege of editing. |

#1. Bonnie sent me.
ReplyDelete#2. I LOVE 'directions at a glance.' Fabulous.
#3. "A creative mess is better than tidy idleness." OK - I'm hooked. I'm adding you to my reader today.
(I also loved the quilt show!)
I absolutely echo Linda in TX comment --- couldn't have said it better! The tidy idleness is my mantra --- need to print it and put it on my husband's tidy desk --- as opposed to my "mess"! Bonnie sent me.
ReplyDeleteThank you ladies! I thought about posting pictures of my sewing room but didn't because I'm so embarrassed by how messy I truly am! I've since tidied up a bit, but when it gets back to my "normal" I'll post!

Absolutely love the brilliant idea for the Directions at a Glance in Bonnie's book - just think how long we have wanted something like this and just did not know how to get it done. Love your blog and the quilt show was wonderful. Judy C in NC

ditto on Linda's comments! Directions at a glance looks like the sketches I end up making from some other books when there are just too many words when a little sketch would do! thanks for adding it to Bonnie's book!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful quilts. Thanks for including Freida's Flowers. I too love directions at a glance.
ReplyDeleteI love your quilt show! Also, I loved the directions at a glance in Bonnie's new book. Jo Anna
