First it was the lamp on the set and then this garage sale find - really, I do have very good taste. I would say my preference is traditional eclectic with a love of antiques and classic colors. So what was I thinking when this little pitcher caught my eye? First, I thought it would be great for Joey and Shelly, as they have a kitchen that was built in the 30's with that turquoise color. But it has grown on me..............don't be suprised if you see a quilt down the road in this color pallet with circles as a design element! Stranger things have happened. Which brings me to the question, where is the most off beat place or item where you have found inspiration?

It's all about you!

1. Do you belong to a guild?

2. What is your local / favorite quilt shop?

3. And oh yeah, last but not least, have you posted your complete profile and 6 quilts?

Tomorrow is Memorial Day in America. Most countries have a day set aside to remember those who fought for their country. This year's Memorial Day is poignant as we struggle world-wide with the war in the middle east. Whatever your opinions of the war may be (and this is not an appropriate forum to discuss them), we all need to take a moment to remember those who have fought for freedom and the current troops who serve their countries so valiantly.

The La Veta Quilt Retreat is over and, as promised, I'm providing a montage of some of the work that was accomplihed this week. These one-of-a-kind works offer a variety of visual stimulation. Each morning begins with a short talk that leads to an introspective look at one's creative strenghs and weaknesses. The works are an outward expression of those thoughts, dreams, and visions. This particular retreat tended toward the artistic, contemporary, but often traditional works evolve as well. Way to go gang!
