Challenges are just that

Challenges are just that...a challenge. I didn't make it to finishing the quilt in 30 days. Today again I am putting together the pieces that I can. It was a rocky start this morning as I was not looking forward to re-sewing pieces I had already done. But, once I got started...hey, it was nice to be working at this project again.It helped that football is on television. I can zone out or not to the sound of the commentators. I did quit sewing altogether during the final two minutes (truly the best part of any close game) and sat in front of the television; close enough that if my mother had been here she would have told me to back up, I'll hurt my eyes.

Maybe the photo above is unremarkable. But to me it is sewn sections. I still find it disappointing that after all this sewing the finished product will be so small. And I scared Kate today by telling her this project belongs on a wall, not on her bed. Her whole face fell and it reminded me that once I give this to her it is hers. It is a gift. If she puts it on her bed...well, the quilt is hers, go ahead. Knock yourself out, baby. Love you.

  1. It's going to be beautiful, S. I challenged myself to try and learn to paint, and I haven't touched the supplies I bought a few months ago :-)

  4. It is an exciting design. K points out favorite blocks everytime she sees it. I've not grown tired of it...so it must be good. In fact, I think I'm going to miss working on this when it's done.

  6. Is it the type of thing that would take off the wall abuse? If so, I'd have it down where I could feel it.
