dreams...



I woke up this morning from a good dream.
I woke up and i thought, "I know exactly what i am going to make today."

Have you ever had quilt dreams?

This is a new one for me... Never had a QUILT dream before...
I used to play pro-amateur billiards, and I would have billiard dreams.
I'd shoot a shot over and over in my dream until it was perfect every single time...
It was quite obsessive... but I swear my game got even better because of those dreams...

Now it's quilt dreams...

I shot out of bed,
and got right to work before my house guests woke...



I think it was a great way to start the day!

I'd love to hear your stories if you've had them!


B spotted this baby deer in the woods at lunch today...
It's sort of like Where's waldo... can you spot him?

The quilt from this morning, is now pin basted, and will quilt tomorrow....
A very inspiring day!

  3. I always quilt in my sleep before I go into the studio. That's where my best ideas come from. I thought everyone did it that way.

  11. Pro amateur billiards huh? You have many hidden talents. I often solve quilt problems during my morning walk. Fresh air, clear head works wonders. This is a fantastic dream. Can't wait to see it.

  13. Did you see quilt patterns in your mind after each shot in billiards?! That was a fun little tidbit about you that I would have never guessed - I would have thought something more like a long-distance runner since you are tall and thin, but I can guess that is helpful in billiards, too!

  14. OK, I'll be brave and tell you my funny quilt dream. I was co-chairing my guild's quilt show, so was living-eating-and-breathing quilts and quilting - and, as it turned out, dreaming it too. We had as part of our show a challenge quilt, which involved pairs of quilters passing their quilts back and forth, and adding borders - one border pieced, one appliqued, and so forth. In my dream, one of the borders had to be edible! My co-chair made me a small quilt with candies tied to it, in honor of my dream. I hang it every Christmas - with fresh candies of course!

  15. I have dreamt of a quilt. And a person in my office. When I got into the office in the morning and sketched the quilt I realized that it was very much like a computer and pixels, and the person I dreamt about was our head IT guy!
