Carol, thanks! You make me laugh about the UFO’s… yes, I know exactly what you mean. Honestly, I hadn’t done my homework for the class and picked out fabric really, really quickly. I was wearing a striped green scarf at the time and that had a lot of influence on my color choice.

This is great – I love the free-form piecing and your choice of colors – although I’ll admit I was surprised not to see your signature purple! Finish it – soon, or you’ll end up with a pile of UFO’s… Un-Finished Objects – not where you want to be, trust me!!

Leah: I’m delighted you were able to come to the workshop. It was lovely meeting you! I am always sad when I don’t get to spend more individual time with people at the workshop. The day goes by so fast. BTW, I’m loving your quilt. I’m a sucker for brown + these sherbet colors.

I have a similar experience with AEDM each year, the feeling of connection to my creative self grows and shows up in all areas of my life. It’s a good feeling.

Sounds like the workshop was a great experience!

I love the colors on this….brown and turquoise are always a winning combination in my mind. I’d like to see it quilted.
