I do the same thing, buy the beautiful books for their eye candy, find stuff in them that I would LOVE to make, then put the book on it's shelf and suddenly it's erased from my mind! HAHA! Thanks for the project!

On my list are: a dress from Liberty Love, the hexie quilt from Modern Patchwork, and Bangles from Hand Quilted With Love.

I was just thinking... the majority of the quilts I've made so far have been from books.

Whether it's working only from a stash, not buying new magazines, or using the resources we already have, it's a good thing!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3283434021680036683.post-10371910977791447142013-08-15T07:42:02.654-04:002013-08-15T07:42:02.654-04:00I have the same book problem!

Maybe this will kick me into shape watching your finishes!

She just keep buying them!<br />One day, I asked her why she needed so many since she hardly ever painted anything from the books. She told me they were for inspiration and if she got only one small idea or even the seed of an idea from each one, then they paid for themselves many times over. She made her living by painting oils and water colours for many years. <br />When she finally stopped painting because her eyesight was fading at 87, I had to deal with the books:-)<br />After watching my mother collect them and browse through them for years, I couldn't throw them out. So, everyone in the family now has a few dozen painting books on their shelves.<br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08797105951913303700noreply@blogger.com
