Inspiration or mess?

I don't seem to be getting much done in my sewing room tonight, so I thought I'd share my cork boards with you.  I tend to collage on them so every few months I need to take everything down and start over.
kind of a little of everything huh?  The sodoku are supposed to become quilt patterns for me.  We'll see....
The yellow and ivory satin are wedding colors for daughter number 3, the leaves are because I really love leaves.  Someday I am going to finish the applique on the left.  I got some lovely hand dyed threads for more quilting on it, they are made by my second cousin once removed Laura Wasilowski.  My second claim to fame!  I'm related to a famous quilter!!!  how cool is THAT????

Board number two............

Rather eclectic isn't it?

It could be an eye spy actually.

I don't need to take it all down yet, you can still see some of the cork board!

There is the note that Laura included in my thread order.  I wish I could be her when I grow up, doing what you totally love to make a living!  She even does quilting cruises. sigh!
Whats on your cork board?

I had fun looking at all the wonderful things on your cork board. Yes, an "I spy" experience!

Oh my gosh this is so neat and inspirational and I think... Oh I want to do that.

I have one cork board facing backwards with a yellow sticky that has my ex's SSN number on it as I haven't changed a couple of accounts over yet. So I need that number. It's been 10 years - I'm lazy.

I don't have a bulletin board like yours but my design wall sometimes tends to end up like that! I want to be reminded of something or I love a color or I have a pattern I don't want to misplace - well you get the picture. My design wall ends up being a giant bulletin board so full that I can't see one thing until I take it all off and start again with a clean slate! I love your three penny day thoughts on your right side board. blessings, marlene

Definitely inspirational! I could show you 'mess' with a capital M, but I won't. :-)
