Lets make it last a little longer :-) I had to laugh at your comment that you LIKE to work. It isn't a comment I hear very often from the teenagers I see everyday in my Maths classes :-)<br /><br />Just be careful to not make another rod for you back in doing the 'how to quilt it' part. I don't want you to feel you have to come up with a design for every quilt top someone sends in to you. Personally, I think you should be charging for this consulting design service :-)<br /><br />It is awesome to think you have had 40 comments on this post in just 2 days. Your fame is spreading far and wide and I often see references to your blog on other quilt lists and blogs. I ams sure your list of subscribers is way larger than the 6 it was when I put you into my bloglines list. I fully expect to see you featured in the quilting magazines before too long. You desreve wide recognition for the time and effort your are freely putting in to raise the standard of quilting.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071169702272418462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-1303201162963671102009-11-03T03:17:23.622-05:002009-11-03T03:17:23.622-05:00Looking forward to the pics of how to use the quil...Looking forward to the pics of how to use the quiltdesigns on a quilt.

Having to do something every day can be tiresome - coming up with something NEW everyday can be paralyzing to your creativity.<br /><br />I am sure that you will get to your goals of 365 new designs, so what if it takes a bit longer than a year.<br /><br />And I like the idea of showing how to use the designs on actual quilts.<br /><br />lizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-48062359686412285362009-11-02T09:49:37.346-05:002009-11-02T09:49:37.346-05:00Leah,

I have two that are mysteries. Just today I was wondering what you would suggest if you were in my quilting room checking them out. I think you are right to step back and take a break.

I posted daily for almost a year and a half on my website, and just recently came to the conclusion that my life could not continue to revolve around it. Everything else was suffering. So now things are more balanced and I feel much better about all of it. Do what you have to do, and always put your family first!

It is a relief to see that other ambitious women also have to take a break once in a while. You were so strong, posting all the newfound patterns for every single day. So everybody wants you to get refreshed and feel not only better but good. <br />Take all the time you need, I admire a young woman (you're about the age of my daughter)following so straightly her goals. But one of the goals is also being in balance with all parts of life, nurturing your soul and mind, health and familylife.<br />Thank you for all your inspirations so far, and for all you have to give to the world.Brigittehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15474536092655227160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7302142022228564326.post-61160026253968323922009-11-01T15:01:25.761-05:002009-11-01T15:01:25.761-05:00We're with you.
