bad weather held off and i did make it to quilt group friday...i took this with me...
in the morning i pulled this out, well rather was going to put away but the angel on my shoulder again told me i should fix it...so a bit of ripping ensued. if you recall, the horizontal strip was put on wrong side out and it haunted me. no other choice but to rip out and fix...
it'll get finished today and put away and conscience will be clear...lol
as mentioned, i'm known for hand applique at the senior center so was gifted this...
calendar is clear for a week or so...aside from finishing apartment clean, have several sewing projects to keep me busy...finish christmas cross stitch, get one of the biggies basted, finish mathemagical top, then sort shelf with finished items, sleeve on 'midnight' and get hung up...i keep telling myself these are the endless free days i dreamed of when working 2-3 jobs and overwhelming responsibilities...but still miss my independence and my car...sigh
A clear conscience is a lovely thing even when it involves fixing an overdue project. Now the next things you do will just be fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, I bet you miss them so much!!! We take those things for granted. Those sweet, polka dot tulips are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI remember a saying “ do what you dread doing early in the day, so you can stop thinking about it” and then can enjoy the rest of the day. I am always surprised that it doesn’t take as long as I think to get it done, though I might have fretted over it for days. Dotti in CT
ReplyDeleteAre you looking for a car? Where we live a car is a necessity.
ReplyDeleteIt’s good you were able to get to your sewing day. All your plans for the week make me tired. Good luck with achieving them all.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful applique project-and the book, wow! I haven't driven myself anywhere for months, so I get the lack of independence thing!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely applique! My friend has that book as well and it has really neat patterns! Enjoy your day!
