He
who's not busy being born is busy dying. (Bob Dylan)
People
who are busy and happy don't write diaries; they are too busy living. (Robert
Heinlein)
...wonder if they also don't write blogs...I have to wonder
as it gets to be week after week before I find the time to sit down a write in
spite of my promise back in the summer to keep at it. So what is it about being
busy?
Partly it's the time of year when everybody gets caught up
in the holiday season, partly it seems to be an age thing...could it be that as
we age we actually get less efficient, or is it that we REALLY do have more to
do in less time, because we don't have the luxury of looking ahead to an entire
lifetime of tomorrows….don’t know the answers, but I sure wish I had the
pattern for “TIME” the new and improved version – I’d make me some more!
Some of the things keeping me busy aside from the ‘working
for a paycheck job’ are customer quilts,
guild projects, and doing some of my own piecing and hopefully over the
holidays some quilting for ME…but we’ll see.
I finished this one up on the weekend, couldn't find the time to hang it and shoot some pictures; so here goes.. the quilt is roughly 90" square. The schoolhouse blocks are 12" sampler blocks made into a traditional looking schoolhouse block, each about 21" x 19". Three more blocks on the back. The colours were hard to shoot as the blocks are a batiks in the mossy grey green family. The sashing and borders are a taupe-y mottle. It's a pretty quilt and as a bonus well pieced and flat...yay!

So, lots of stuff to keep me busy including guild projects, and more customer quilts to post, but more about all of that to come...
Cheers
