Lolo<br /><br />Bonnie, I have been wanting to ask. How is the Love Seat Recliners working for you. My hubby, at one time wanted one. But he is a still person, I am sewing, crocheting cross stitching, knitting.

Or some accounting problem will work itself out overnight and in the morning I'll have an answer. The brain is an awesome thing. Wish mine had graph paper though!!

I have ideas for a pink and brown, or just the teal and brown would be gorgeous!! Absolutely loving the new addicted to scraps block, I may have to go hunt that one down! Thank you for the furbaby fix, I love how yours curl up with you when you work. Mine just lays out on the floor in the room!! I will be picking up those new patterns soon!!

Just look out the windows and see all the colors that works well with earthy browns. I’m sure that whatever direction you go, it will be beautiful as always.

Brown/Tan/Teal would fit in my living room perfectly. I also thought of brown with pink a traditional old color combination. Sadly no quilting for me for the next week. Traveling to see granddaughter at college and a trip with my church to Branson, then back to Monroe. Got to keep moving at 71.

I have to force myself NOT to think of quilting when I go to bed or I can't turn it off and go to sleep. I have done quite a few other creative things in my life, but nothing has been more obsessive for me than quilting. Thanks for feeding my obsession, Bonnie. PS I'm looking forward to that brown quilt. The suggestions have been great! It's not in my usual color set, but I'm starting to think it could be gorgeous.notolderbetrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06731921304357256460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-90401550616416408802021-09-16T10:46:46.044-04:002021-09-16T10:46:46.044-04:00Absolutely!

YES YES I also play with fabric in my head & rearrange blocks and cut and sub cut.... quilting friends will show me pictures of fabric and ask, "what pattern could I use?" and I will try different patterns in my head until I come up with something that will work.<br />My other favorite thing is when I reach a stumbling block (figurately haha - or wait, would that be a great name for a quilt!?!?) or cut something wrong, I fall asleep thinking about the best way to fix it or a way to save the project and I can usually figure out a simple solution that eluded me the day before.<br />Thank you! Thank you! Bonnie I so appreciate all you do and your brain is a gift. May the brain arranging never end.Amy Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897290156578172552noreply@blogger.com
