In my case, a young girls heart also turns to thought of QUILTING each fall (unlike the other three seasons, when I think about quilting??) ....in the fall, you can imagine sitting in the evenings with a quilt on your lap, either for warmth, or for working on...you can picture beds soon to be heaped high with quilts...fall is just GOOD for this!

  This particular fall, I find myself at a crossroads...it's been pointed out to me that I have stood at this same crossroad for a very long time, actually! Where do I go with all of this quilting stuff? Do I  join the ranks of those that make a living with their quiltiness? or  Do I continue to go as I have been going?  Is it any wonder, that I fall back on my all time favorite poem, by Robert Frost..The Road Not Taken??

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I --
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

I have always seemed to travel this road less traveled, and perhaps, my quilting shall take me there again!
