I love the whole creative process and hand sew or machine piece etc depending on whatever else is going on!! And like you, always have 2 or 10 projects buzzing around in my head. As to blog content, mine was meant to just be about my sewing/patchworking but as blogging became more comfortable I find my 'personal life' has started to creep in - I guess that sort of stuff is as much a part of me as is my creating!?? Well, thanks for the prompt to reflect. I hope you had a nice Christmas and have a happy New Year.Raewynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11123089629481933099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-43504960587762105122010-12-27T13:36:02.219-05:002010-12-27T13:36:02.219-05:00I like the whole process (and most of it by machin...I like the whole process (and most of it by machine). Who said it has to by by hand to be enjoyable? I love the hum of my sewing machine. I'm gettin better at choosing fabrics, but I always ask others for help or for thier opinions. And the end of your post was adorable!Linda in Calif.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17976880355570847646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-83361713115016517422010-12-20T21:32:10.537-05:002010-12-20T21:32:10.537-05:00I enjoy it all! I love to pick out fabric, love to...I enjoy it all! I love to pick out fabric, love to cut it all into little pieces, and sew it back together again. I do admit that I almost never complete a project before I start one or 12 more. I am learning to quilt on my new sewing machine and am not always pleased with the results, but that is part of the process, too. I'll get better at it over time...I really like to give away a lovingly made quilt to a specially chosen person who will love and appreciate it!anniebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964650375035909932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-67160420218779176302010-12-20T18:26:44.966-05:002010-12-20T18:26:44.966-05:00Very thought provoking!

I learned to do them on the machine because I don't enjoy the time it takes to sew down the binding by hand.<br /><br />So, like you, I have come to enjoy the entire process...and when I finish a quilt, it feels SO GOOD! :-)Tamerahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17381235847159519699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-71648949312153588902010-12-20T08:26:22.845-05:002010-12-20T08:26:22.845-05:00I'm a both and girl-I think.

Yet, I'm like you - I like to get a project finished - so I would lose interest if I were to do it all by hand!

I have a very large pile of finished quilts but I have an even larger pile of quilt tops (aka flimsies). Sometimes I just want to work with a specific color palette, line of fabric, pattern, or all of the above. I LOVE handwork so I enjoy embroidery and hand applique, as well. It's really all about the process for me. :-)<br /><br />Thank you for letting me share.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06889819189264646562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-81813265736037940872010-12-19T20:53:08.438-05:002010-12-19T20:53:08.438-05:00Oh my--see I knew you could do it??? did you find ...Oh my--see I knew you could do it??? did you find it very hard to do the header???? I have sooo many pictures and clip art in my Pisces file that it sometimes takes me a while to find the 3 or 4 I want to use--!!!<br />why I quilt--I love seeing us take big pieces of fabric and cutting it into smaller shapes and then sewing it all back to gether to make something different--I love all the steps to quilting--but my least favorite is the hand basting--but it does give me time with each quilt to really see the design and during that time I usually can decide what stencils or design I want to use to hand quilt it--and I really do love the hand quilting part--event he binding is exciting--cause that means I am on the home stretch!!!!<br />I do have trouble with the colors too--and that is one reason I like that they do whole lines of fabric collections now--but then sometimes it is fun to just start with one or two fabrics and then look elsewhere for the others!!!! and I mainly started blogging cause I was tried of writing the same things everyday in a journal--this is alot more fun that that was---but now I blog to meet people and I guess to do alittle entertaining now and then too---<br />and I always have more that one kind of project going--try to have a hand quilting one, embroidery one, applique one etc.. cause --cause I love variety!!!!<br />Hugs, Di and that miss gracieQUILTING IS BLISSFUL, DIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09347815945554965185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-62844025565604302672010-12-19T20:49:55.059-05:002010-12-19T20:49:55.059-05:00Sunny, wow...I definetly connected with this post ...Sunny, wow...I definetly connected with this post and your thoughts on quilting and blogging. I believe we may be cut from the same cloth (yes, pun intended...ha) I love the entire process of quilting and I too struggle with fabric selections and I think it is because I like too much and making a final decision is so...well, final! That is also where I have the least confindence. <br />Blogging, I wish I were better because I admire those who are consistant and always seem to have something to show. I have decided as long as I try and I am true me that will just have to do!kimlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02135982436514082328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2684488485702343720.post-39734935242566775622010-12-19T20:35:01.155-05:002010-12-19T20:35:01.155-05:00Sunny I LOVED reading your interesting post.

I am not good at putting words together.<br />Like you I enjoy whole process of quilting but my favorite part is seeing it all come together.<br />Your new header is gorgeous!!<br />I started my blog as a way for my girls to see what keeps me busy and sharing what I get up to.
