I got sidetracked...or how Workbook Wednesday Wandered...

Okay so now that all those book signings and red carpet events are behind me...
(AHH... life in the fast lane!)...

I am back to the normal craziness and
the many tangents that my brain and life take...

I just bought these books (with the help of a BN gift certificate... thanks Sally!)...

and was quickly smitten with this book....

I just love the photos....



 of the quilts...

and when I grow up, I want to quilt like this!!!!

So I have been playing around with some ideas
and changed this....

into this...

and the fabric has been flying ever since!!

And of course, far be it for me to stick with one book or one activity....

this is a book that I have owned for a while ...



but have only, this week (what was I thinking!??), begun to read through it...

and actually try out....



 the exercises...

I really should try to draw more often...



...when I can find time!!!!!


And just in case I don't have enough on my plate.....

 this past weekend, at our quilt guild meeting,
my blog friend Debra (she does amazing work!!!) taught a class on embroidery for crazy quilting...



I don't think I will ever have the patience to start a crazy quilt,



but I am a firm believer that you can always take away a new skill
(or five!!!)
if you try something at least once!!!!




Debra, thanks! and sending you positive, healthy thoughts!!!!



So where, you might ask, are my Workbook Wednesday projects????



Well....

um....

 I did buy some new supplies for the painting and foil exercises!!!





but....

uh...

I got sidetracked, okay??!!!!!



  I am just meandering like some free motion quilting!
