Comment on Motivational Difficulties by Ann

I nearly always have a week or two of paralysis after I come home from a long trip. The only time I don’t is if I have an urgent deadline and have to get back into a project. I just give it some time and then everything is back to normal.
Sorry I missed you at Houston, never seemed to be in the building when I knew you were. Hope we will both be somewhere at the same time another time!

Hi Mandy! I do throw the really tiny ones out–like smaller than 1″ anyway, but your Bondaweb idea sounds great too!

Thanks Annie. Sounds like you had it much worse than I did with the luggage issues! At least it happened to me in an English-speaking country!

I’m so very sorry for the airline troubles. That is such a pain. I know. It happened to me in Taiwan, when my luggage headed onto Malaysia for about 3 days. I had to go into the drug stores and mime “hair spray” to these sweet people who don’t use such a thing in such a rainy, humid climate. They kept in touch with us, through cell phones (thank heavens they worked) and eventually drove halfway across Taiwan to deliver my luggage to the third place we stayed. YIKES.

Here you were in my territory (Utah), from all the way across the ocean. I should have arranged to meet you somewhere.

I’m glad everything else went well.

I do so agree with this one! Personally speaking I never throw scraps away, however small. After all, put a few tiny pieces together, not worrying about rough edges and you could easily make a really interesting Inchie.
I tend to use my tiny scraps to put together to make my own fabric. Iron them onto Bondaweb (self adhesive interfacing which is very thin and has glue on both sides) which has itself been ironed onto a larger piece of old sheeting. I have some really useful project bags made using this method.
All my tiny scraps are in bags sorted into colours - yellow and creams together, browns and oranges together, etc. A useful project for when I just need something to do.

Comment on Copyright law and the quilter by Nadine

Hi Thea. This issue covers many grey and foggy areas, that’s for sure. Being a quilter and an artist myself, I can see both sides of course! In my opinion, it all comes down to not selling or profiting from something that’s not entirely your creation, and if you stay on that side of the issue, you’ll have no problems.

What a good idea! I don’t know when or if it would ever have occurred to me to use my camera this way but I definitely will be from now on!

Hi Nadine,
I thoroughly enjoyed seeing your quilt “Accessorize Me” and get a lot of inspiration from your “daily inchies”. Your ideas are so fresh. Not an easy thing these days when it seems like ‘everything has already been done’.
Thank you for sharing so much on your blogs, website, etc. it is much appreciated.
