Even to start with some fabric scraps and stitch them together for a free-hand quilt...will produce unexpected and often beautiful results. My inspiration can come from newspaper and paint...funny what crazy thigs can get us going!!<br /><br />Sue xxxZuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13719392076328462619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-29071751141213281922011-01-14T17:18:13.247-06:002011-01-14T17:18:13.247-06:00Sometimes you just need to listen to your Muse!

Today I also visited the ABC group and found your elephant pages (they were yours, weren't they?) Uncanny! I have been "dealing" with elephants all week. They keep showing up everywhere! I haven't kept up with the ABC group because I have found it hard to navigate. Any clues?
