It’s true.
I’ve not wanted to sew or paint or cut paper or much of anything this year, in light of recent events. However, I sat myself down and looked at my Quilty Project 2015 list, even though I knew it might depress me when I counted how many open projects I have to list already for 2016.
It’s not really a surprise. I’ve known about her pregnancy for the past six months. I just wasn’t thinking that I would make anything…and then I had second thoughts. It might be nice to make a baby blanket. You know, it’s a small project and I seem to be able to finish smallish projects these days. So, why not! It’s only a couple weeks before Christmas. I’m not busy! Heh.
Here’s my starting fabric:
Ah, my GGirls have surpassed my expectations!
Last night, I was presented with finished blocks from MY 2014 Carpenter’s Wheel group project. And I have to say, Ladies, these are so wonderful. Each block is precious to me!
Now I just need to decide assembly (table runner or square) and post the finished piece.
And one to go!
Select fabric for the Secret Santa gift (holiday stocking)? Check! Design an alternating block pattern of reindeer fabric? Check! Fussy-cut star strips for aforementioned blocks? Check! Engine trouble? Check!
Scotty: Captain, I don’t know how much more emergency power we can take before we start to break up.
