Last week we discussed who was the Dedicated Quilter and from the response, there are many who either thought they were a Dedicated Quilter or felt they didn't quite fit the description. Now, I am wondering about another aspect of my quilting life. I know there are some days I think my entire life is consumed by quilting, but in reality, although it is an important aspect, I also find passion in many other art forms...and, I wonder if this variety just spreads the creativity thin or if it provides enhancements. What do you think?

I love cross stitch and some days find myself torn between piecing or cross stitching.  It's kind of like walking into a really awesome bakery and trying to decide between an eclair and a cream puff, LOL.  I can't choose...I want them both!

Another enjoyment is embroidery...

 

And lately, I have been expanding my cooking skills...all of this does take time and squeezing it all in means the minutes required for this life is more than a 60 minute hour...I could use a 90 minute hour, LOL.  I also wonder am I becoming a jack of all quilts and a master of none or does all this variety provide the spice needed for a fabulous quilting life?

So, share with me...besides quilting what else makes you excited? Do you feel like there is not enough minutes in a day? Are you into Cooking, Painting, Writing, Running, Skiing....Inquiring minds want to know?! How and Where do you find the balance?

How cute is this? Nicole Stevenson at WeAllSew.com has directions to make your own sewing machine cover. Wouldn't it be fun to make one for every season? Or every holiday? Or just because you want to mix it up in your studio? And, you can make it to fit any machine.

Ricky recently had a new door hung in his home. Or should we say an "old" door. Ricky's door is from Egypt and is not exactly new. It is however quite beautiful. Take a look at Ricky's door and then watch the video showcasing "The Top Ten Most Beautiful Doors Around the World."
