It’s Finished
It’s Finished!! I said that was gong to be my mantra for the first half of 2015 because I have several items to be finished. While most everyone I know that quilts has unfinished projects some of mine are growing into their teen years. Today I worked on a clamshell log cabin started in a class with Joan Belling about 10 years ago—a mere child. The mitered corners on the border didn’t lay flat and the stripes didn’t match so it was put aside some years ago. I really didn’t have time for mistakes. Corner stripes are now square. Simple quilting highlights the design and binding is on the agenda for tomorrow. As I look at the fabric used I will pull some of the remnants out when we get back to home base in spring. By then I am confident I will have a plan for another creation…just hope I have enough fabric for whatever that might be!
P.S. I also finished the insulation installation for the sewing room. My husband has the sheetrock on the walls. That means we have to tackle the ceiling….how long before I can say “it’s finished”? The DIY Texas sewing room is a little like the UFO’s—but still just a toddler.
I believe each quilt “has it’s time” to be finished. When I have had problems with one, I’ve learned to set it aside. I just know that “it’s time” has not come and I move on to another project.
I too have some coming into their teen years. Maybe, they just have to mature a little more before their ‘coming out party’. Your work is beautiful — happy sewing!
Thank you Sandy for your comments–my sentiments also.
