Keeping on....

Still working on my Liberty Lawn quilt from the stash Ann brought from London.  An enjoyable work in process.  At first I was looking for more lights, but now..I am thinking the darks are more comfy.
 Although summer is over, somehow I am still on the roller coaster.  Just when I am enjoying the view, there is a sharp turn which is, unfortunately, no longer a thrill.  It is a good thing that my daddy taught me to keep my seat belt on!!  And working at the airlines too!!  "While seated, please keep your seat belt on at all times in case of unexpected turbulence.." 
 Yup...I got it...
 In the long gone, weed filled garden, I found new life today.  I mean without rain and at the end of the season...look who keeps on...keeping on.....Eggplant and Sage.  Their persistence encourages me...
 The Hummingbird from my screened in porch in a tree that we almost cut down.
I was going to do something fancy with Liberty Lawn, but now I think simplicity is best.

Love the hummingbird - happy memories. As someone who knows nothing about quilts (but is a fascinated admirer) would it work to do a quilt where you work from dark to light left to right? so a graduated quilt - dark at bottom and light at top? Or would that be unbalanced?

That's all we can is Keep On Keeping On. And looking for -- and finding! -- the little drops of joy & life renewing itself.
I love your Liberty Strippy!

I think smazoochie said it best! Hang in there, and find the little gifts that the universe sends to us to lift us up and make us smile.

Love your Liberty fabrics. They look very elegant and yet soothing and comfy at the same time. Have fun with it and try not to stress about it.

You are doing so well Diane. We don't have humming birds in Australia, so they are like wonderful ,mythic magic birds to me. What a treat to have them visit you!
