Last fall my DH and DS(when he was visiting from Phoenix) added MUCH light to my space. They kept saying, tongue in cheek, "you'll need shades (sunglasses)". I love it. I spend much more time there now. ps, I have some vintage churn dash blocks that I need to get out of the box and do something with. Thanks for the inspiration!grammajudybhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562284172505849145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-47155742749302080742018-02-16T18:08:07.359-05:002018-02-16T18:08:07.359-05:00Yep, St Valentine's day is alive and well in o...Yep, St Valentine's day is alive and well in our house. We used to do the whole flowers and cards thing. Then I felt flowers were a rip off at that time, then the cards went. But ... we do have a special meal in the house with candles and the whole kit and kaboodle. helenjean@midgetgemquiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005403786619091105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-22335713465453673502018-02-16T14:07:47.634-05:002018-02-16T14:07:47.634-05:00Awesome vintage blocks!

What a lovely and unusual Drunkard's Path layout. <br /><br />And how nice you have new lighting. I hardly have any in the place where I sew but even if I did I don't think I'd see much better.

BTW, I can totally relate to your new light bulbs. My studio is in the basement and the lighting is not so great which is why I have OTT lights in certain areas. My overhead lights were switched to daylight bulbs this week and it is a game changer for me. The lighting just energizes me and I've already spent some late nighters several times this week. I don't know why this wasn't done sooner. somethingrosemade14@blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02973160061640897272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-55891431792586664312018-02-15T13:37:43.916-05:002018-02-15T13:37:43.916-05:00It's amazing how much difference there is betw...It's amazing how much difference there is between good lighting and bad. My quilting room has horrible lighting in the evening. Loved seeing your vintage block play. There's just something about working with them {even the rough blocks} that can make our heart sing. Had to laugh at your split personality over being a purist except when you're not. Everybody has to have a line in the sand!:)audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-7362614185371649562018-02-15T12:33:30.567-05:002018-02-15T12:33:30.567-05:00Those vintage blocks are so cool and so is the ide...Those vintage blocks are so cool and so is the idea that you're finishing a quilters WIP. Kind of makes me think that I should scratch a few notes to put into my project bins as I'm sure if someone needed to finish them up for me might need a little guidance. Thinking that one has eye issues is a scary thing. I know the feeling. So glad yours could be handled with just extra lighting.

The small dots will probably work wonderfully to calm them down. Have you ever wondered what people in the future will think of the unfinished blocks that may find their way into their sewing rooms? Kinda weird to think about. Maybe that's motivation to leave no project left behind!Barb Neiwerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05489488237974557963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-53273328751445402532018-02-14T21:50:13.408-05:002018-02-14T21:50:13.408-05:00The quilt has a calming, cozy feeling.
