Thanks so much for the encouragement about my row for the Row By Row Experience. I'm feeling much better about everything. Now I just have to prep kits - in other words, cut, Cut, CUT!! I admit to feeling a bit intimidated when faced by this 30 yard pile of fabric (and that's only to make 50 kits!),
so I sewed instead. First, I pieced the May block for the Westering Women BOM by Barbara Brackman, The Platte River.
Then, when I got home after an 11 hour day at work, I treated myself to an hour of sewing at home! I have a slight addiction to making these blocks that our Guild is making for our Comfort Quilt effort.
I haven't really liked how they look together, though, so I started playing with alternate layouts. Perhaps some interlocking wonky stars?
We'll see. In the meantime, I have some cutting to do.
Quilting is becoming an increasingly important and integral part of my life. My creative outlet changes how I view the world around me, influences the activities I pursue with my family, and introduces me to new people whose life paths wouldn't ordinarily intersect mine. My life is much like my favorite types of quilts - scrappy and unconventional, full of interest and surprises, and with an underlying current of making do (and making something beautiful!) with what I have.
