"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Inspirational Quilts and Fun Fabrics

Feeling very low again today, I coped by doing much window-shopping and day-dreaming at my favorite online fabric store, the FatQuarterShop. (Their service is great--very speedy.) Then, this evening, I found Hillary Lang's slide show on Flickr. Great inspiration for what to do with the fabrics I already have. Hope you enjoy browsing as much as I did today. I find it keeps me emotionally afloat like little else can do.

How blessed we are to have access to so many beautiful things through the Internet.
