I also feel fortunate to be able to create as I wish and not have to do so much else to create an income.Judy Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07644738305279130498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-58839005376861125432014-02-02T07:25:06.253-08:002014-02-02T07:25:06.253-08:00Thank you, Suzanne.

In fact the piece I plan to start on next is going to have a large section created with the aid of my wedge ruler. I just may be able to share a sneak peak on next week's blog.<br /><br />I had no idea how many comments and all positive I would get from sharing my decision to go with my natural hair color. It is nice to know that I am not alone in relishing and sporting the look of salt and pepper hair.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-8664985872387963512014-02-02T05:36:04.191-08:002014-02-02T05:36:04.191-08:00I love your Botswana piece.

Will you use the sandwiches together in a project or save them as a stitch journal?<br />I like the haircut. I too sprot my real salt and pepper hair. I started graying early from the bottom up in my late 30's. I am almost all silver on the bottom and it's a dark mix on top. Many asked why I highlighted the bottom or why I just didn't dye it. I've never dyed it but for a time I highlighted the top to balance it out, once a year. I'm now just going with what I've got and get compliments on it. Enjoy your salt and pepper mix, it's lovely.suzanne, dutchess county NYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09970449875090818639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-67083237046759871452014-02-01T16:02:19.484-08:002014-02-01T16:02:19.484-08:00I never thought of that, Karen.

I have frequently commented to my husband on how much money we save because we are not smokers, coffee drinkers or drinkers of any kind of alcoholic beverage. Now I can add that I don't pay to have my hair frosted or dyed! <br />Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-25301696529616058732014-02-01T10:15:00.291-08:002014-02-01T10:15:00.291-08:00As always, your quilting is beautiful and your to-...As always, your quilting is beautiful and your to-do list exhausting!

I prefer a solid when travel stitching is a regular part of the motif.<br /><br />I prepare block sandwiches for the sole purpose of practicing Leah's weekly motifs. I find I prefer to quilt on black for the contrast. Also, for my own entertainment value before I start quilting on a new practice piece I divvy it up with long wiggly lines. This creates odd shaped segments to be filled with the quilting and forces me to practice in tight, irregular areas.Gwyned Trefethenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13041159153171283941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-52045445791242405192014-01-31T10:53:43.675-08:002014-01-31T10:53:43.675-08:00I love the kidney stones!

Your work is incredible, clearly at a very high level, yet you continue to follow Leah's lessons, which indicates to me, true humility. I can't wait to see your goddess. What are you quilting the new designs on? It looks intriguing!Sandra Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17737049269550479188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-5253606726942636982014-01-31T10:42:39.326-08:002014-01-31T10:42:39.326-08:00Your mixed media piece is a fun one.Your mixed media piece is a fun one.Regina B Dunnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14377568746998756667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8230694326800494480.post-79171517450857271612014-01-31T10:23:07.346-08:002014-01-31T10:23:07.346-08:00I think your hair looks lovely, some people pay a ...I think your hair looks lovely, some people pay a lot of money to get the frosted look and you get it naturally. I also like the shorter length. I would like to cut mine, but my husband seems to like it longer.<br /><br />Your fmq "kidney stones" looks wonderful as always. <br /><br />Have a wonderful week!<br /><br />Pat Merklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12827283810663831168noreply@blogger.com
