Filling My Cup

I am doing a between-quilt/at-a-stopping-point sewing room straightening up.  It is not a knock-down cleanup...it's just a put-things-where-they

a) belong

b) are out of the way

c) are out of sight

d) are someplace where I can deal with them later

cleanup.

It also helps if I rearrange things so I can rearrange the dust bunnies.

I was looking for an excuse to rest when I ran across these:

I have Vol 1-4 and #6.  This is all I have collected thus far and they are more than enough to keep me busy by themselves....

Of course, I have yet to sew one of the patterns.

They are too much fun to look at.

So I am having my Sit Down Have a Cup of Coffee/Tea/Whatever, Relax and Fill My Cup of Creativity time so I can then go about creating at the level of, or slightly higher than, my abilities...

I looked at Vol 1 & Vol 6 (2001 and 2006 publishing dates).

Thought you might like to browse along...

 I love curved patterns, but have yet had the courage to attempt them..Both these are beautiful and are just a sample of what I saw..

Vol 1 (2001)

Vol 6 (2006)

And then there are the  Log Cabin variety.

One would really have to be ambitious to make this...It's another of my "One of These Days"....

I love how this design on a quilt.......

...can create a lovely table runner also.....

Finally, I found this block in the yellow block book above.  I love it and am sure that some of you out there are familiar with the design...

But I also like the name they gave it....
