(or at least they've been reinforced!)
- sometimes change is good
- rescheduling a haircut too many times catches up with you
- mixing and matching fabric for a project feels good
- personal style changes over time
- grief lingers
- every year, it's harder and harder to stay in shape
- machine quilting is kinda fun
- hugs from a grandgirl makes any day great
- it's amazing how satisfying a square of dark chocolate can be
- starching hasn't impressed me yet
- having an office to oneself feels luxurious
- encouraging newbies is very gratifying
What I'm working on . . .
Did you notice the new Festival of Half Square Triangles announced by Canoe Ridge Creations starting April 2? Definitely worth a glance - see details here.
And Lindsey of LRstitched and Sukie of Don't you know who I am? are cohosting a Zakka Style Sew-Along also beginning April 2! {see details here} My copy of Zakka Style is on its way, and I'm hoping to sew along at least a few of the projects.
I don't think April is going to be boring!
I really like your lists Debbie - so 'real'. Thank you for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI agree with so many of these! Isn't going to feel great when you are finished with that quilt? I need a bit of your perseverance!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and ain't number 6 a STINKER!!!! April is FULL of projects and I am looking forward to them so much!!!!
ReplyDeletefun list. I will comment on the starching part, I just bought a refill of my fav spray "starch" called BEST PRESS, now i never use it to starch it so much it's stiff, it just helps get the wrinkles out faster with a steam iron, mine is lavender scented, I love that.... have you tried it?
ReplyDeletenow I don't like the cheap regular spray starch from the stores, it leaves residue on the fabric and the iron, such a mess. this one doesn't.
Great list! And I agree with both #6 and #9 indefinitely! :)
ReplyDeleteDebbie, you've learned a lot already and we're only up to March!
ReplyDeleteIs that the scrappy depression quilt? Looks great! I even recognize Just Wing It!
encouraging newbies, well i've definitely been appreciating all your encouragement! Great list Debbie!
ReplyDeleteGreat list for the week. I have my Zakka Style book hopefully sitting waiting for me to pick up at the sorting office in the morning. Think I may skip the HSTs though, they stress me out too much!
ReplyDeleteI love your list and I agree with so many - you can`t be a grandmother though can you???
ReplyDeletegrief does linger. it is unique to you. take care of yourself. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI saw the post about the Festival of HST's too - looks like fun!
ReplyDeleteSo have you tried starching now? I still haven't and would like to hear more about your experience! I like you photo too, is that a new HST project?
ReplyDeleteDebbie, I totally appreciate that list (and got a chuckle from many... in that "I know EXACTLY what she means!!" way).
ReplyDeleteThat's a good list so far. Looks like you are having some fun quilting!
