ABC's of Quilting
 
This tip came via a KHQS member who attended a Libby Lehman workshop at the Alegre Retreat in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Libby generously gave permission to publish the list. Post this list near your work area. Then, whenever you are stumped with design work, read over the list. Invariably, one of the words on the list will get the creative juices flowing again and inspire a design decision.
