Sketchbooks seem to strike terror into the hearts of many quilters and embroiderers I know.  I think this is a mixture of the terror of drawing and the feeling that you aren’t a proper quilter or embroiderer unless you have one.  This is a shame, because they can be the most terrific resource for making original work, and they really don’t have to be works of art.  Here are some pictures of mine.
