years of inspiration

back in my freshman quilting years, bought this book...as you know, amish quilts were the siren that drew me into quilting.  published 1982 it was my quilty bible and every page called to me....

fast forward  44 years (44???) and it still sends me to my solids stash.  the current in the hoop came from this book...

but there have been many others, like....

these three are in the basted pile, waiting to be quilted....but others are long finished...

there are more of course, but you get the idea....so you see, it doesn't always take a village....sometimes just one thing, one book, one person, one idea, one faith, one hope gives years of solace....

have a glorious, INSPIRED day!
