UofL Quilt

The fabric is cut and sewing has begun.  I'm still not sure about the size, I don't want to overwhelm people when they walk in my office.  I need to make a decision soon, but I think I'll cut everything out and see what I think once I see how the fabric is going to look.  I tried to pick coordinating fabrics that weren't too busy, but you never know till you see everything together. 

Fall Is In The Air

Decided a little decorating would perk me up, and it seems to have helped.  I'm starting on a University of Louisville quilt for my office tonight - bought the fabric on my lunch hour.  I'm not thrilled about using my newly organized quilting studio, but it had to happen eventually.  I've got a  large area over my desk that has been screaming for a quilt since I moved into this space.  Now that I have the fabric, I'll be on a mission till I get it finished.  Everyone at works knows I quilt, but I don't get an opportunity for them to see the results of my hobby that takes all of my time and most of my spendable income.

Still Not Quilting

Still haven't gotten back into quilting.  Maybe I'll work on a UFO over the weekend.  The lack of quilting is helping get my Halloween picture done.  I'm hoping to finish it up in the next day or so and take it in to get framed.  I've got a great Christmas picture to start on that has several quilts in it.  That seems to be the closest I'll get to sewing right now.  Oh well, it will be there when I'm ready. 

No Quilting Recently

There are lots of projects waiting for me but my heart just isn't in it for some reason.  The empty nest part of my life is stronger than my love of quilting.  Hopefully this will pass soon, and I'll get back to turning out projects.  I'm not much fun to be around when the pity party rules my life.  On a positive note, when I'm not quilting, I'm cross stitching.  I hope to get my Halloween picture done this weekend.  Hopefully it won't take too long to get it framed, and I'll be able to use it this year.  If not, there's always next year.    

Long Weekend Project

As a long-time Louisville Cardinal fan, I've decided to make a UofL wall hanging for my office.  Seems simple, huh?  Unfortunately (for me) everyone else seems to be a fan right now too.  I'm having problems finding fabric to get started.  I had hoped to spend the weekend working on my new project but now it seems I may have to resort to mail order.  Without being able to spend the holiday with my boys, I had hoped to get wrapped up in a project to pass the time.  I know, I know, there are tons of other projects in various stages of being complete, but I had hoped to start something brand new.  I have more store to stop at on my way home before I officially give up and fire up my web surfing fingers for fabric. 

The Patient Man

This has to be the most patient man in the world.  He doesn't say a word, just finds the nearest rocker while I wander among the many shops.  It's not easy living with a Saint, but it sure is nice.
