I seem to be doing a lot of these lately. And somehow I feel like being at home would be much less stressful than my "relaxing" vaca. However I've learned some very important things on my trip:
1. I want to do a whole cloth quilt someday. (ambitious I know)
2. I desperately need a library card.
3. AC is important! (especially when you don't have it)
4. Learn to appreciate the small things to fully enjoy the big things
ALSO! I was reminded of a lovely quote by William Morris, who despite being a socialist was pretty dang awesome and kick started the Arts and Crafts movement in England. (He was an architect, a poet and a designer, and quite round in stature)
Imagine how easy that would make spring (or summer for us procrastinators) cleaning.

(whole cloth quilt--except imagine it BIGGER)
(this is the pattern I am going to start with)

"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful."

(this is the pattern I am going to start with)I think when I do the large one it will be a modern design using an old art form...Alphonse Mucha is my current inspiration for the image to put on it. we shall see though. I may do the one and give up on the idea all together. sheesh! Like I don't have enough projects to finish...
