I've often referred to the blogging world as my International Quilting Guild. So much inspiration, friendship, advice, etc can be found in the blogging community. So, my international quilting friends I thank you for your opinions regarding how to set my sweet basket blocks. It was an overwhelming majority vote for an "on point" setting. :-) I'm going to set them on point and share my progress as I stitch along - stay tuned.
Speaking of inspiration! A long time ago I purchased a set of 12 notecards (four of three different designs) and I've been coveting them waiting for the perfect opportunity to use them. Earlier this week I took four to Kinkos and had "Inspiration Journals" made. They cut my cards on the fold line and I had them use graph paper for the pages of the journals. They are 5" x 7" and should fit nicely in a purse, totebag, etc - handy - because you never know when inspiration will strike. Now that I know that they look adorable and will work wonderfully I will take the other eight cards to Kinkos and have more made. There are so many wonderful note cards available and in the scrapbooking section of a Joann's or Michael's the possibilities are countless. Can you imagine the adorable inspiration journals that can be made?
These first four journals are going to four people who have provided me with inspiration on a regular basis since I started blogging.
Thank you for your popping in - come again soon!In Friendship!

What a wonderful idea! Thanks for sharing. I missed your other post due to be out of town...I agree setting those cuties on point.
terrific idea. I am always needing to jot something down.. You were so clever to think of that.
Those are just wonderful...Miss Darlene...you are a very clever girl!
What a great idea for using note cards. Yeah blog friends are great for helping out with quilt stuff. I'll be looking for your finished basket quilt.
Well aren't you the vclever duck? What a great idea and so pretty. I'm sure the receivers will treasure them.
What a super idea. I'm sure they will be treasured by the lucky gals who will receive them.
What a cool idea! So did you buy graph paper and they cut that to size too? What a really cool idea! I"ve made quilt note cards on the computer, so I could make the covers!
A most insired idea!! They will certainly make a great idea for crafty friends.
what a great idea.....one can never have enough notebooks! I have cards that people have sent that are too nice to throw out - this is a good way to make use of them while keeping them close so to enjoy!
Darlene, that is a really sweet thought. I am sure that they will light up the day for those special people. So pleased that your idea worked for the cards. It is always a self pat on the back moment when things like that actually come to fruition.
I love the idea and glad you thought of it. Of course I will be doing the same thing.
Super idea~! ooxx`jodi
What a great idea. You little smartie you. I am sure we will be seeing these little journals all over on blogs. Keep an eye out on mine! Love them.
Hey, that is a cool idea. You are so smart. I am glad the "majority vote" helped you decide what to do with those cute little baskets.
wow this is such a great idea..
I love these!
I know the recipients of these will just love them
Isn't blogland wonderful for inspiration????

What a cool idea.
How cute. I love all the neat little journals, and note pads that are out now. You need to make those designs into a wallhanging. Very cute!!
What a great idea! I've had some notecards that I loved but I never could figure out what to do with them! This idea is perfect! :0)
Those little notebooks are an excellent idea. It is hard to find small graph paper pads. I have my own graph paper notebook that I will have to share in my blog shortly.
What a neat idea to turn your favourite cards in to journals, it's something that can be used a long time.
Really neat-o Darlene!
you clever thing you, what a really neat idea. I've not seen anything like that. I'm glad you are doing baskets on point too.
Great idea....the bloggers are definitely my constant source of inspiration! Wonderful post!!
What a great idea!!! I will DEFINITELY use this one!!
Its a wonderful idea... clever you!!! :o) They do look great!!
I LOVE your idea! I am inspired just looking at those adorable journals. You inspire me every day, my friend.
H'moosies!!
Fantastic idea to make those journals! I am thinking they would be great for dreaming up ideas for future projects and generating shopping lists!
Those turned out so cute! You didn't tell us who the inspiring people are...I'd like to be inspired by them too!
