A Start, A Finish and Some News . . .

I am taking a class at the City Quilter in NYC this month.

I am mostly taking the class because there are two other

ladies taking it with me, so it's more of a social event.

I need no excuse to sew and giggle with GF's!

I really have no right to start ANOTHER quilt,

but well . . . . you know.

The class is a variation on Court House Steps.

Mine, (above) is not really following along with what we are supposed to do,

such a surprise!

This one below is what we are supposed to be doing,

but my mind is shot these days, (more later)

and I knew I would be ripping out more than sewing

if I tried to follow Judy's sample.

It is pretty though and in another time frame,

I will probably try it.

Here is my finish!

I finished my Modern Quilt for the Show!

I did a grid design for the quilting to follow along

with the Mondrian look.

I love the back and I have to say this is only the second

sleeve I have ever done and it was pretty easy.

My quilts don't really hang on a wall,

They are snuggled and loved.

And now for the news . . . .

Funny how things change so quickly.

I will be moving to an apartment in a couple of months.

That means pairing down 30 years of "stuff," from a house,

to a much smaller space.

The funny thing is, I am really loving parting with most of the "stuff!"

I am looking forward to a simpler life.

I will have a much smaller sewing space, but that's okay too.

Fresh start! It's time.

What have you been up to?
