Will You Choose?

Besides finishing up the binding on my Friendship Diamond NouvElle quilt...

For NouvElle Quilt Binding

And, continuing my easy Herringbone QAYG with Arizona...

Arizona QAYG

I don't have too many unfinished projects at the moment, well compared to my usual amount. I do have lots of newly delivered, beautiful fabrics that are all waiting to become something. When they arrived I know I had a good idea for each that have all abandoned me these past ten days. Honestly I'm having a pretty tough time getting back on track, thinking clearly & staying focused, feeling inspired & motivated. It's not from lack of effort, I just feel very overwhelmed. I do want to sew and I know beginning something new will be good. Would you mind choosing the next beginning for me? From,

Sew Caroline's Limited Addition Gleeful collection for Art Gallery Fabrics.

They are all such amazing fabrics! What do you think I should cut into first?

Thanks in advance for the help! ♥ Maureen

    Definitely my vote is for Arcadia! But you're right, you can't go wrong!

    Gleeful is definitely my favorite. If it's too overwhelming for you, I could take that one off your hands. :-) LOL.

    In other breaking news, I just today gave into my lust and placed an order for some of that Arizona fabric.

    The Gleeful collection feels most summery to me, so I would pick that! Although the Arcadia is my favorite, I could see myself sewing with that in the fall and yes, I cant work on a summer quilt in winter or vice versa :)

    I vote for Gleeful. The name is wrong for how you feel right now, but the colors are so fresh and seem different from the other projects you have in the works. Maybe the Gleeful fabrics would lighten your heart.

    My suggestion is to pull your favorite prints from each line and have a play. That way you don't have to choose just one! If that doesn't suit your purpose, I vote for Cloud 9.

    Casting my vote for Gleeful! Like so many others above, the name invokes happiness and joy. Beautiful summery colors that I am drawn to. I also agree with Jess that Arcadia feels very "fall-like to me" with certainly a vintage vibe. In the end, follow your heart. Your creations always turn out lovely.

  79. AdrienneJune 25, 2014 at 2:35 PM

    The colors in Field Day are a nice meeting of groovy and comforting and feel-good all at the same time. That's my vote. Take your time! If you push yourself to begin before you're ready, you may not be happy with the process or the finished product. God bless you!

    ReplyDelete
  80. UnknownJune 25, 2014 at 2:50 PM

    I feel like Gleeful is just a wonderful message to you to begin something new, summery and a bit playful too. They are all gorgeous you can't go wrong, but at 70, I try to look for messages in life from God and I think Gleeful is one. During this difficult time try to be as kind to yourself as you would be to a dear friend going through the same thing. Being our own best friend is not always easy but we deserve it. God Bless.

    Go with something bright and cheerful--full of life. Do something that doesn't take a great deal of concentration--log cabin, simple squares, snowball, 9 patch. And make it for yourself--a beautiful new bed quilt or a lap quilt.
