I always love what I see after I complete a piece and look at it through the camera lens and on my computer screen. With this one, I see two things: 1. The light purple line on the top left is way too distracting for me and doesn’t seem to fit. 2. I really do not like the teal green combo but wanted to try it. On a positive note, I was bold and tried the orange thread. I can see my machine quilting is slowly improving with tightly spaced quilting lines.

I am trying to do a better record keeping job in hard copy and in my journal. Maybe it will give me a better perspective when I can look back and see things in one place.
I seem to have lost another day with blogger issues. I know tomorrow is unlikely for a post but hope to post during my week away. I have no idea how I will be ready to go by Sunday morning at 8am. And then my father-in-law is having open heart surgery on Monday so I am leaving Marc with a real mess. I feel badly leaving but he says -go. Is everyone’s life this crazy? Maybe.
Being creative definitely keeps me sane. Try it, my friends!

A confluence of issues and activity before a trip is the norm. It’s a conspiracy! Thank goodness for creativity.

Have a safe trip. See you soon.
Love the quilt and the orange thread. It’s definitely not too much orange:) Hope you have a safe trip and a blast at the Barn despite the many obligations awaiting at home!
I am finally getting excited. I am ready except for a good nights sleep! sshh -don’t tell my family how excited I am.
