Good Morning, Quilters!

Have you ever purged your quilt tops and wished you hadn’t???

Sometimes it’s all about vision!

Years ago, when I was really having fun with fabric dyeing, I made this kaleidoscope quilt top.

It was so long ago, I don’t remember the details other than I watched a Ricky Tims video on The Quilt Show, followed along to make my own design/pattern and then stitched it with hand dyes.

It languished in my quilt closet for years so when my sister, Patricia expressed interest in it–I gladly handed it off to her. (One less UFO on my list–I thought I was so clever!)

Then it languished in her quilt closet for years.

Until last week.  She sent me these photos.

I don’t know whether to laugh or cry!

I LOVE what she did with it!

I didn’t have THE VISION!

File this under…

What else is in my closet?

What was I thinking?

Way to go, Sister!

What about YOU?  Any diamonds in the rough in YOUR quilting closet?

Anything YOU can look at with fresh eyes? New ways to quilt?

It’s all about vision!

I’m off to the eye-doctor….
