Christine Hutchins wrote a new post, My Quilting Year Book 8 years, 1 month ago
In my blog last month, I let you into one of my obsessions – stationery, and the need to write things down. My plan for this month is to let you know about my progress on The Quilter’s Year Book. It really just goe…

This book sounds brilliant. Have looked on Amazon but they don’t have it. Where can I buy it? Please xx
-
I do hope your hubby is fully recovered now, that must have been an awful experience for both of you on Christmas morning x
The book looks a lot of fun, and your description of using it does too – thank you for the entertaining blog on it x
-
I’ve never heard of the Quilters YearBook but I want one, it seems like just the thing to push me along on my quilting journey. I’d like to know where I can buy it too.
I also have an obsessive need to write things down, thank you for sharing.P.S. I hope your husband feels much better now and I wish him the best health.

Christine Hutchins wrote a new post, Write It Down! 8 years, 1 month ago
I can easily see how this post is a carry-on from my February post, which boiled down to ‘Use It Up’. Not only am I a ‘Fabriholic’, but I am a ‘Stationery Addict’ too – and have been for as long as I’ve been sew…

I enjoyed reading this Christine but, I should confess, my pleasure came (at least in part) from an increasing feeling that I might be relatively ‘normal’ 😉
-
This makes me feel better Ingrid – as it means that I also may be relatively ‘normal’ – although some may beg to differ!

Having just moved house and had to give away a lot of unused stationery, I think I could say I was a stationery addict too. I’ve recorded most of the things I have ever made for sale (patterns, making instructions, time taken, materials used, costs), but your blog has made me realise that there is so much more I could be doing with quilting notes. Thank you.
-
Thank you Corinne – good luck with the notes!

UKQU BOOK CLUB 8 years, 2 months agoI like the idea of option 1. If we have different book series posted or just book titles etc I am bound to get lost and miss interesting titles. Of course I will go with the flow as they say. 😀📔

Thank you Sue – I remember my flute teacher saying ‘Jack of all trades, master of none’ – and that may have a ring of truth about it, but what if I haven’t yet found the craft / job / activity that I can truly master? I’ll just have to try them to find out!

Me too, but it is fun trying them all out!!
