I've been working through a book "Easy Machine Quilting". I've done the exorcizes on 14" blocks, they turned out really well and like to use my domestic machine for quilting. But now I have a lap quilt (maybe a little bigger) I want to start on. I've done a bit, but find myself...

I made it my goal this winter to finish projects I had started, complete kits I had purchased, and get those beauties I had pieced, but not quilted off to a quilter. In order to finish those things that had not met my expectations I would tell myself I can not work on something 'new' until the...

How does one maintain one's inspiration? I've been working on this quilt for months and now that I am almost finished-just a little more stitch design-I can't bring myself to go back to it. I'm already contemplating another quilt pattern but feel guilty since I have not completed this...
