Even though today was a day off work, it was a day full of "adult-ing". Some of it was frustrating (meeting with my son and guidance counselor at school about him not working to potential). Some of it was tedious (bill paying, bookkeeping, completing a micro loan application). Some of it was easy but time consuming (post office, buying county decals for our cars, shopping for supplies). Some of it was downright scary (learning that a good friend has cancer). When I finally made it home at the end of the day, all I wanted to do was sew. I queued up an audiobook and dumped out a new bag of scraps from a guild friend and set out to make my own version of
that string shadow quilt I found last week.
The blocks aren't sewn together into rows yet and are just sitting on some background fabric, but what fun I am having! I need to focus on actually QUILTING some quilts, but I'll be darned if I don't just want to piece tops these days. My goal is a 6 x 8 quilt plus borders, I think. We'll see.
