What an exciting week. First off, the days off and spending them with my friends from East Side Quilters was very exciting and rejeuvenating. I got so much done – much of it tedious. As I told a few people, the quilts I’m currently doing can only be described as “My Life, an inch and a half at a time” What WAS I thinking?

Anyway my Mom worked very hard on our mother-daughter quilt, finishing the binding, the sleeve and finishing off all the threads she could find. When I got home, I finished the last bits of quilting and the resulting threads and except for the label, it’s done. Definitely ready for official photos. I also finished one of the tops I was working on over the weekend.

It is SUCH a joy to see something come together – so very energizing all on its own. And let me tell you I am so mesmerized by what I’m working on, sometimes I hate to go to my day job and leave the quilt-in-progress at home.

Since I’m done with that one, I have a lot of ironing of seams to do on my other big project aka “Red Sky Red Sky” – many many seams.

I’m currently reading “The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It For Life” by Twyla Tharp. All I can say is totally WOW. Read it no matter your creative interest. I’ll be re-reading it for a long time.
