an exciting find

So.  It's been just about a month since I last posted ... and just about a month since I started the Stitching Hope shop!  With every item that has been donated to the shop, I just can't help but think, "Man.  I want that," or, "I wish that were my size," or, my favorite, "I could just go ahead and buy it to give away."  I keep reminding myself that the money goes to a good cause, but it can't all be MY money.  It's all exciting, nonetheless.


A few weeks ago I stumbled on this website: The Modern Quilt Guild.  If you have time, read the essays posted by different prominent quilters who are known for their modern style.  I'm really excited about this because these quilters are helping me to put into words how I feel about quilting.
