Eat your Vegetables
Work has been very tough on my schedule lately, but I’m back to writing again and have accomplished a lot in the last few days. I’ve wanted to start… okay, I’ve been dying to start a couple of new queen size quilts that I’ve already bought the fabric for. After telling Kay about this, she not so politely said that I really needed to finish my other projects before starting on new ones.
Let’s take stock… I finished my Arbor Lane quilt and even washed it! I needed to deconstruct my “Spools and Dreams” mini and then sew it all back together. I needed to start and finish the hand quilting on the Amish mini quilt and then bind it. I have another Sage Garden quilt that needs to go out to the long arm quilter after I sew the sashing on it and get the backing sewn together. But what I really wanted to do was to start the two new quilts that I had in mind.
My wife’s response was a little like “Eat your vegetables and then you can have desert”. Well, as much as I hated to admit it, she is right. With all of those unfinished projects hanging over my head, I really needed to finish them before I started my new projects. I’m eating my veggies now in anticipation of desert.
Here’s the “Spools and Dreams” mini with the backing fabric I chose…
Books quilts and sewing 
good advice from your wife–however don’t you sometimes just crave dessert first? Hey life is short. Go with your new idea.
Thanks!! I ended up finishing ALL of my UFO’s and then suggested that Kay get busy on some of hers… We both had a good laugh at that, but then she only has two unfinished projects. I’ll be posting soon about the new project that I have started as I attach the panels. Thanks for the comment
