Learning as I go

Okay, so I didn't really have eight visitors, d'uh, I think it was me looking at what it would look like!  lol! 

Of course, par for the course, I wrote down the address for the blog after trying out a lot that were already claimed and now I can't find it!  oh well!  Since I doubt that I ever actually put this out for folks to see, I will worry about where it is if that day ever comes! 

Thus far the writing hasn't motivated me to actually accomplish anything yet.  I went upstairs on Friday and did a little bit of cleaning, cut some strips using the accuquilt.  I am working on cutting up stray bits of fabric into strips and putting them in a shoe box.  I am thinking that eventually I will use the wire baskets that I purchased while in Ohio four or five years ago; I can sort broadly by color and then they'll be ready for some stringing. 

With Brian and Wynne separating, I am feeling a mite of pressure to make Georgia and Liam's quilts.  Georgia's is ready for quilting though I am still debating adding some sort of border(s).  Liam is gonna be strings, I have a stack that have dark brown strings.  Not enough for a quilt but definitely a nice center rectangle which is a good beginning.  But of course, I absolutely gotta finish quilting Kimber's camo quilt.  The problem is that I have started it and decided that I don't like what I have done.  I just need to get it done, let it go and move on!  I am too critical but I also know that once again basic laziness is part of the problem.  I don't want to do the practice that is necessary in order to become "good" at something . . . anything!  I remember the year I made sweaters for everyone!  Or the year I made socks to send; I actually got really good at them though in retrospect I know of mistakes that I made.  I just kept going; I need to recapture that again.  Too much time on jigsaw puzzles even tho I claim it is to keep my brain active.  Maybe becoming better a free motion or quilting would be just as effective and actually produce something at the same time. 

That road to hell is getting well paved with my procrastinations!
