Doors close...open windows!

I've come to a cross roads today....this one door has closed but now there is an open window! I can take a moment to breathe some fresh air. I find it also refreshing that there is a gentle rain outside. A cleansing of sorts, for my mind and soul. I can spend some time now writing the half dozen or more books that have been on the backburner. I can also work on the mound of pattern ideas that have been keeping me awake for some time....and then there is that ever increasing, overflow of fabric that is begging for attention!...Blessings and comfort to all today!

Moda Blog Hop!!!

I found it by sheer luck ahead of time, so I'm going to help spread the word. Quilters there is a blog hop going on with interesting stories, along with a common theme for the hop. This hop is about taking an idea, creating a block and putting them all together for a finished quilt. There seams to be giveaways on every blog, including the block pattern and a chance to win designer fabrics, How cool is that!!!!

I started at the beginning, with Laundrybasket Quilts with Edyta Sitar who happens to be one of my absolute favorites! I have collected three patterns each day and left comments. (It would be awesome to win some of these gorgeous fabrics to add to my stash and to play with for some of my upcoming quilt designs!

Have fun everyone, whether you join the hop or just spend some time in your sewing room, let the creativity flow!

Here is the link for the first hop, each blog has the blog hop schedule!
