It's been all about the garden and not the studio for weeks. Sorry.<br /><br />It was so nice to have your family here, and I back up every word you said. We didn't take pictures or talk shop much at all. We chilled together! I, too, came away with new thoughts and ideas that are slowly percolating. <br /><br />The Bag Method: I do wonder if your time in the studio and the MESS was what made you decide to go home and organize, and be sure to tell your readers about your new Instant Pot Adventures. I got the idea from another quilter blogger, and was happy to pass it along to you. A batch of your artichoke dip is on the menu for a special dinner tonight. Thank you for sharing back!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-841503584332048056.post-67353808756129889562017-07-14T17:46:07.270-04:002017-07-14T17:46:07.270-04:00We all need a time out from quilting once in a whi...We all need a time out from quilting once in a while to recharge-I did that this past week.

I just did the same thing and believe it or not...I didn't die from not having my machine attached to me! It's also nice not to be connected to a computer!

I don't think it will make the quilt too busy at all, but I guess it remains to be seen.

Your trip sounds like it was lots of fun, and I do think those little breaks in sewing reenergize you to get back to it again. I love your project backs.

Maybe you haven't been busy sewing, but making up your bags is pretty time consuming and requires thought. Sometimes, are you in just the right mood to cut, cut, cut? I'm lucky if I leave little piles around for different projects, and then find them again! And remember what they were gathered together for!

Great idea to have bags of projects waiting for that creative moment to arrive. The Dog Gone Cute pattern is so dog gone cute! I made just one of those dogs for my grandson's little house quilt. He loved it and you will love how easy it is to sew although there are a lot of itty bitty pieces.

I often say I'm a bad blogger because I always forget to take pictures, LOL. I was bummed we were out of town when you came through, but I'm happy you got to visit Bolts & Quarters.
