... about the CQRR I am currently in... I would like to keep some sort of log about the work which I do on other people's blocks as they pass through my hands... This way it gives me a record of what I have done... I am looking forward to doing some on the blue/green block of H's... She has suggested in her log book that she would like to explore an underwater theme... Yesterday without me really thinking about the block this idea began to form... sharonb's stitch dictionary shall come in very handy I believe... I have also thought about the DMC linen thread and how it would lend itself beautifully to H's other block - which of course led me off on another tangent... I think this 'thinking' is the root of all my problems it is not that I procrastinate it is that I have too many ideas running all at the same time and I find it difficult to settle down and just do ONE!!!!!! I can see with the quite quick 'turn around' that these blocks have I will need to think on my feet - challenging - but inspiring...
I bought the latest copy of 'Inspiration' magazine yesterday- it is their birthday issue - some very nice projects to do... Included was a little booklet called 'Fabulous Insects'... There is a cute little snail that I thought I would like to try... LOL more hunting and gathering for this latest craze... Up until recently I never use to buy this magazine as I always felt slightly intimidated by its content... I never thought that I would ever do that 'kind of stuff'... Little did I know what was ahead of me... While I see can't see myself doing a lot of what this magazine offers it does have some fabulous ideas... See - there I go again thinking too much... So many ideas - so little time to do

Sharon - you do have the most interesting books on your blog. Very tempting in fact...lol. When I did a few round robins I used to take a colour photo copy of the block I had worked on (after I had done my bit) and wrote notes in the margin such as whose block it was, what I had done and perhaps what others had done. These are now filed in a folder which I use for inspiration when I'm a little or a lot stuck for ideas. Even if I was first to work on a block, just the peiceing often gave me ideas on ways I could do things differently.
I'll have to try to find that issue of Inspirations mag Sharon.I have bought several of the later issues, but picked up a bargain early last year at a flea market,a pile of them at $3 each in perfect condition. They have some really gorgeous embroidery projects in them, don't they?
The colours of my blocks in your pics are much better than the ones I posted.
I'm in the process of starting a blog. It will be called EASTLYNNE COTTAGE. Hopefully you'll be able to check it out tomorrow.
