I purchased the Kindle version of the book for a $1.99 on one of their daily's specials. I ended up posting a sign on my wall at work to eat that frog. Thanks for the reminder. I am definitely the Queen of the procrastinators.

I watched that, very amusing and true. I hope we will adopt it at home as in "Got to eat any Live Frogs today?" Thanks for sharing.

OHMYGOSH! Charae, that is priceless!! Thanks for sharing!

I really try to get the things I am more prone to procrastinate about out of the way first. I don't achieve this goal every day, but on the days I do I feel empowered! I'll try to attach the link:

The video is a kick! I don't know where I learned about it... maybe on this Forum!

"Procrastination is the thief of time", I seem to remember reading that somewhere. I blame my laptop for all my procrastinating I spend too much time on it.
Should I say viewing TQS.
Anne

Sorry, Rosemary! I am already totally familiar with that word!

If you want another good word how about procrastinate? I'm doing it all the time (especially on the computer ) when I could be sewing or should be sorting out various housework.

how cool that we all belong to a site where information is shared and we all learn something - (even Cap't John - who, of course, is totally cool) I learn something every day when I come to TQS and often share that information with my quilting friends in my senior citizens park in Texas. I am now the "go to" person for information on thread, color, cool new techniques and so much more. Thanks to Ricky, Alex, Justin, John and all the wonderful guests and contributors. (Also special thanks to Margo for all of her great help.) Hugs, Ann

OK, that is a seriously cool website (the V+A). Kaffe Fassett did a book about quilts inspired by the V+A.

Rosemary, I do think that you could pull off a quilt that would astonish and awe. And if you document this in a book I for one would buy it right now! I have a very large book collection :shock: and as far as I know, there is nothing in recent US books that covers this method.
Chapeau encore!

Gee, this was supposed to end up in the thread about Rosemary's inlay technique! I wonder how I did that?
Kathy

I am correctly and duly chastised. I will update the blogs & newsletter.

Love,
Mr. Alex

Thank you ladies! I always love when someone says, "how do you know that" and I brag about the things I learn on TQS.

Being a bit of a pedant myself I would just like to say that William Butler Yeats sister Lily worked with May Morris and it is thought that she did a lot of the embroidery work attributed to May Morris, including the canopy around Morris's bed in Kelmscott Manor in the UK. I always think that Jane Morris looks so miserable in any photos from the period and in the paintings done by Morris, Burn-Jones and Rosetti. According to Lily Yeats it was not a happy household with Jane Morris sulking a lot, May Morris having temper tantrums and William trying to smooth things over. Interesting history, I think?
