    Life cycles and you don’t want to burn out like a comet! Taking time recharge and let ideas germinate is a good thing! Sometimes just roaming around and petting the fabric is the best. @susansquiltstudio

    I totally get it. Thanks for organizing the Honey Pot Bee last year. I loved the blocks & learned a lot. Actually, when December was about half over, my sewing hit the brakes, but I plan to get back to finishing Dec. blocks & putting my quilt together. IN DUE TIME….God knows when, but I know eventually it will be done. Take care & thanks for the quilting inspiration.

    Nothing good comes from a plant that is not nurtured, fed and watered. So Mollie take some time for yourself. Quilting mojo can’t be forced and sometimes you just have to let it regrow. Genius takes inspiration. It will return. Take care

    Love you, your blog, your ideas, and your stories. Take care, be brave, and know that the quilting world is waiting for your “comeback”. “You” are the most important thing to “You”

    Seasons, that’s what it is about. Learning to enjoy each one in turn. If we are fortunate to live long enough we get to experience them as they come and go. When I was a girl growing up in East Texas I could not imagine fooling with all those little fabric pieces from which my grandmother made quilts. Sewing clothes for my three girls and myself kept a lot of years busy, with crochet, embroidery and a number of other things filling gaps. About 25 years ago I mended my favorite old quilt from my childhood days and given to me by one of my dearest forever-in-my-heart friends. And there I went!! Mending, lap quilts for Mother and others, sashing old friendship blocks for community friends, reading, learning, adding to my stash, USING my stashes (which really does not diminish that I can tell, but multiplies and grows whether I buy fabric or not…..a life of its own it has!)

    I am slower now but I mosey on down my creative road, being thankful that I can. Much older than my grandmother was when I observed her scraps, scissors and needles and not as mature as when she went to Quilting Heaven. The thing is….I have figured out that I probably won’t last long enough to eventually “get to” all I want to “get to”. But I will just keep moseying on.

    Thanks for last year, Molli, and all who shared and continue to share our Bee Blocks. God bless us every one. ❤️. 💋. 🎉
