The Beginning and Ending of Love

The Beginning and Ending of Love

My last blog post was published right before my daughter said, "I will", and this one arrives right after she said, "I do." So appropriately I present the finish of the Scrappy Hearty Crush, AKA the Love Quilt. It was started 2 years ago, and finished this winter. It is yet another of my long list of WIP, UFO, or quilts of continuing progress. Anyhow it's done. You can read past posts of it below, and there will be a least one more of the LOVE block template coming.

It's December with Christmas right around the corner, and the world seems to be spinning very fast. Yet we all find time to escape by sitting at our sewing machines letting our brains unwind the stress of the season. That's an ideal world, and might not be the whole truth, but I'm shooting for it.

I am working through my lists with the intent every day to find a little time to stitch something. It may not be a grand project--most are not. It's more along the line of finishing up every last thing I can see in my way. All that stuff stopping me from moving on with new things. WIP, UFO, yada yada, but it's easier to move through things than put it away never to be seen again. I have time invested, and I value my time as should we all. I'm getting things done in those few minutes of downtime when I can catch it.
