Time Between the Stimulus and Response

Time - the great healer of many things, including frustration about fabrics, patterns and quilting dilemmas. Thank goodness I have the insight to put time between the stimulus and response. In the quiet of my home this morning, having coffee at the kitchen table, surrounded by my doggies, I solved yesterday's pressing problem (see previous post). And bless Judy Sisneros for her 9-Patch Pizzazz pattern, which turned out to be the PERFECT solution to my problem. The large scale fabric of the Tuscan landscape is ideal for her pattern. Of course, it's off to buy fabric today for the 9-patch blocks, but I've cut all the rectangles and still have fabric left over. Crisis over. Off to walk doggies, then to the rink. All that worry for naught. Let this be a lesson.
