Instead of sewing, I've been to a family wedding, driving 1,000 miles; I've cleaned the house; I've been watching the news, reading political and economic blogs instead of quilting ones; and yesterday, because it's fall, I made Barbara's delicious lentil soup AND a pumpkin pie. And tomorrow we're meeting some old friends in Chicago for a brief get together.
Today I hope to pull some fabrics and decide on my next project. As I drove through Illinois and Missouri last week, I was struck by the beauty of the soybean fields, a mix of dull golds, bright yellows, and dozens of shades of green. A beautiful color plan, I think. I was originally going to use some blue fabric I bought several years ago, but I may change my mind. Whatever I do, it will probably be a traditional pieced quilt. I'm not feeling very arty at the moment.

Just letting it flow like this is going to yield you a very beautiful quilt...
Well I can't say enough for "traditionally" pieced! I'm looking forward to what you bring to life. How exciting.
Welcome back. I wanted to add that 'cause you were missed!

I'm glad you liked the soup recipe. We're having good soup weather here today.
I'm very attracted to yellow and gold these days too. I look forward to seeing what comes off your needles.
If you can't decide what to do, I can send you one of my projects. I seem to have more than a few lately . . . way more.
I think perhaps fall brings out the "traditional quiltmaker" in all of us. I have been feeling that pull as well.
