You know, I’m thinking seriously about what you’ve said. Then I stumbled across some photos of my old unfinished abstract work, and thought — Jill’s right, maybe I need a break.

Have you looked at Jeanne’s book The Uncommon Quilter? Thinking about experiementing with different media like she does. Collected some stuff in the kitchen last night….

I used to create pictorial quilts like you, but found them time-consuming and emotionally draining. Perhaps you need a break from doing that sort of work. Simplify, then have fun playing!

Simplify sounds so adult and well, boring. Play makes me think create, move, engage. I gotta go with play!! Happy New Year too!

Simplify can sound like work though, and that would put me off personally. So count me in the "Play!" group. :- ) My first reaction was, “Do both!” Simplify can sound like work though, and that would put me off personally. So count me in the “Play!” group. :- )

I'd have to go with Simplify. 1. Because it seems that when i've simplified things; i have more room to play and 2. i need to have a free mind to be able to create. I like it! Good action word.

Simplify is too hard for me to get my thoughts aroud.... simplify is work to me, although I know I must do it. I prefer to play and that is my problem. I vote for play.
