In every post I have read you have taught me something about scrappy quilting and about myself as well... Mainly every scrap you have doesn't need to be used in the quilt. Controlled scrap piecing. I am so glad you have had time to finish these three gems this summer amid the chaos. All three rate high on my "gotta to make one of these" list. Love Popsicle flowers but am amazed at your control on the low volume scrap and to set the blocks with the hst is genius and so effective. And the bow ties with the aqua centers is just plain wonderful. Please take a moment for yourself and then come back and share those moments with us.

It's all about whatever works for you, if you're doing your blog for yourself, anyways. There aren't any 'blog police'! Or there shouldn't be. And don't worry about the self-appointed quilt police either.<br /><br />I love the quilts you've posted! Your low-volume is great. The trick with the not-so-straight-on-purpose quilting is, if it doesn't look great, add some more! Your bow ties just glow! And I love the lollipop flowers in the cactus baskets. So sweet and so Audrey! Actually, they have your stamp on them, and they're really lovely.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07498453213057487052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-3462755416390384502016-08-13T00:48:49.143-07:002016-08-13T00:48:49.143-07:00Welcome back!

At least we would know who called. <br />Now if we are not careful we become slaves to all the technology. <br />I thought I would blog once a week. That did not work because schedules change constantly. I do what you are now doing - I blog if I have something I want to post about, or show my projects' progress, etc. It is nice seeing what you have been up to during the summer! Have a great day and look forward to the next time you Blog.

It's YOUR blog. And I enjoy what you share with us when you have a chance to share. Take some of the stress off of yourself. My genealogy blog gets sort of regular attention, but not daily or weekly or sometimes even monthly. My quilt/stuff blog is still finding its way...just like my quilting. I'm just learning to use my kindle to take pictures. Turns out it makes a decent picture, and it's easy to crop and upload to blogger. Life throw us lots of curve balls...every day...give yourself a break and enjoy what your are doing. There is so much joy in your quilts and that comes threw in your blog.kdduncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02324473106970005553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-34574186993762422672016-08-11T15:07:49.027-07:002016-08-11T15:07:49.027-07:00Three lovely quilts!

It seems like you have been receiving a lot of negative input about your quilting/blogging and it was good for you to get away from that for a while. I know from reading (and re-reading) your posts that quilting is a major source of stress-relief and renewal for you; so, anything that takes away from that quilting therapy is bad news! I just want to encourage you to keep posting (whenever and however you can) because your brand of make-do quilting is helpful for those of us who can't always afford the latest fabric lines and enjoy the charm of using what you have on hand. Your blog has given me MANY hours of happiness and inspiration!the arkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913283083812288705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-70770941255444724112016-08-11T10:51:43.441-07:002016-08-11T10:51:43.441-07:00Blogging breaks are good for us - and there are NO...Blogging breaks are good for us - and there are NO apologies or excuses needed. We all expect too much of ourselves and blogging falls right in line with that when we feel badly about posting on an erratic or infrequent schedule. It really IS all about the process whether it is fondling fabric, looking at photos/books/magazines/other blogs/etc., or stitching. And for me that process involves sharing the stories of my quilts on the blog. Not always in a neat tidy sequence, but shared nonetheless. Happy to see your finishes - especially like the low volume quilt!Quiltdivajuliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593385265961892847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-29429072421899644582016-08-11T10:44:41.091-07:002016-08-11T10:44:41.091-07:00I meant cactus!I meant cactus!Sandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601853322552968292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-89705500235174904902016-08-11T10:43:56.678-07:002016-08-11T10:43:56.678-07:00Congrats on your three finishes!
