You know that feeling you sometimes get, where you don't really want to read a book, and you can't commit to going anywhere, and shopping isn't the answer?
You know what I think? I think that what you want to do is create something! I really encourage you to find a little space in your life to make something of whatever seems interesting to you. I love that quilts are functional as well as beautiful, but do what you want!
