Not only was it me time, it was enjoying the flavor, reading everything from cover to cover. I still have some of my old copies from the 1990-2000. They all had that extra dimension. Not all the same looking quilts, each one unique and different. Quilters Newsletter magazine did the eye candy "Heritage Medallion" quilt, McCalls Quilting the "Grandma's Country Album" series, Better Homes and Gardens had Thimbleberries, homespuns, the butterfly quilt. To name but a few. We did not have Fabric companies controlling and dictating strips, squares, with which to quilt with. We had to learn how to cut and do, the element of the challenge was there. Jinny Beyer was inspiring to quilting, like so many others. Now everyone wants it on a platter, the fabric did not follow a journey to be produced, they turn them out like fast food, how many of these lines have no appeal, but we are suppose to get excited about them? The advertisements in the magazines was fun, you learnt about products, gadgets and fabrics. I remember seeing an ad for this gadget by thethimblelady.au, that ad stuck, recently a fellow quilter wished for some invention to be invented. I came home, looked through all my quilt magazines and passed on the information. In Japan one cannot just say I am a quilter, they go to university to learn how to be a quilter. No wonder they turn out creations that make us drool. If I could I would go to one quilt show, the one in Japan in November, for one reason only, to feed my inspiration on a level that it wants to be fed, not at one that is not even close. Food for thought, I think.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-66246805117832775182012-05-29T19:12:11.793-07:002012-05-29T19:12:11.793-07:00Thanks for posting the pics of the blocks!

Then I came home to your email for confirmation. <br /><br />I suspect the CW motif/flavor will be a challenge in these parts. Brights and very brights are the more common fare. <br /><br />Happy jubilee!Nyimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407823965011972523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7554378824181841688.post-73906263096447325912012-05-15T08:13:21.419-07:002012-05-15T08:13:21.419-07:00Wow what a nice quilt these blocks are going to ma...Wow what a nice quilt these blocks are going to make!
