After all, why should our projects look like anyone else's? You go ahead and do what you will, it'll be amazing :) . New projects just free up our mental spaces for more creativity and drive, right?jeifnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661991907559740116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79942022114351470.post-3988663690489783842013-04-22T08:36:30.991+01:002013-04-22T08:36:30.991+01:00I did read this on the day of publishing but wasn&...I did read this on the day of publishing but wasn't able to comment due to toddler related reasons.

It is the only way to survive in this house where we're all as bad as each other. I love your wee stories and I'm sure your art quilt will be lovely - after all art is personal, so if you didn't feel like applique that day then your art doesn't need to have applique.
