Freedom

I'm finding that I work much better with a monthly goal list, it comes in handy when I am wandering around the kitchen bored and looking for a snack.  I'm reminded that they are other things that I really want to be doing.  So it was with this quilt.

The pieces were left-overs from the 'cross quilt' that I made for a friend.  I really wanted to use up the bits and pieces of blue and move on to something else.  The letters are pieced from this book, and oh so fun to do.  I think that I'd like to do something with jumbo letters, too.  The quilt will be going to a local veteran as part of a community service project thru our guild.

 Sadly, my list was a bit extensive for September and some deadlines passed, but I am having a sense of freedom in no longer having the pressure of those tasks.  I've been able to enjoy some of the nice weather and do some hand stitching out on the porch.  I didn't realize what a lovely explosion of color it was until I came back from answering the phone.

I was in the process of making some hot pads and didn't get any photos of them finished before they were gone.  The tiny apple core blocks in the box seem to be only eye candy, as I haven't stitched any of them in awhile.  Maybe I should add them to a monthly goal list....... maybe next year.

Hope that your day is colorful!

That is definitely lovely. It immediately gave me a sense of peace. Weird how some quilts do that.
I think I need to start thinking on a monthly basis. I find myself in a serious rut. Maybe next year...
