Fabric is a true
inspiration. I take it out, sort it, look at it, dream little quilt daydreams,
and carefully put it away again. I await
the amazing bolt of inspiration that will drive me relentlessly to design, cut,
piece, finish, and quilt the MOST EXQUISITE
QUILT ever seen on the face of the earth! 
If the fabrics
fail me, there are always the threads. Metallic, embroidery, colors that blend,
colors that stand out – surely these will inspire me!
If the threads
fail, there are the embellishments! A little gimp might be the key to the
greatest quilt ever. Maybe some shredded satin? Perhaps some beads? Buttons? Studs?
How about those paste jewels? Sequins? I am a sucker for glitter!
The more of
these I acquire the closer I move to fame and fortune. Well, maybe just fame.
Maybe notoriety? Maybe…nothing. Sad realization. I need to sew a LOT of blocks
and my wife wants another quilt this summer.
Stop talking.
Stop writing. Start PRODUCING! Sew those seams! Make them even! Check every
one!
