Creative Process According to Me

The top is done...It is just the look I was hoping for.
This quilt was made from blocks using up scraps.
It was so relaxing...for a few years it sat around...UFO
Then I put in the lattice...and it sat around another  year..etc..
In the past month, I decided to finish something..anything..
I did not want a square quilt, so I started adding pieces.
The black border batik, I brought back from my daughter's stash in Portland
The Kaffe brown shot cotton is from a sale at Foust Textiles, years ago.
The odd pieces I added...This random windmill,

A piece of a skirt I made my daughter in kindergarten.
31 years ago...Fabric from Mae's discount fabric in Miami.

A piece of my grandmother's apron.

Old Navy boxer shorts from my son.

Yellow square bargain fabric from Randy's quilt store in Greensboro
When Emily was starting a graduate program in oboe.

When the creativity started to roll, I made Stitch get off my fabric.
Here he is, pouting with Zoe.

A finish is exhilarating.

I will have to wait until after the holidays to piece a backing.

Then, into my pile of the unquilted...it goes..

One step further to the end of one more UFO

The beginning of this year's Christmas cactus blossoms.
All I know about Christmas cacti, I learned from Wanda

A cold, but lovely day.

My son scrubbed the 14 year old's room for my daughter.

Thank you God, Fintan and the angels for my son.

Feeling better one stitch at a time

There was a small turn around tonight  TBTG...so I celebrated with finishing the blocks on this comfort quilt.  As you can see, I am not sewing alone.  I am going to take down that nice ledge I made for the cats to rest on while they adjusted to the new dog.  I can see that Milito at least, would rather help me sew.

 This was not my next project, but once I started it was such smooth sailing....

 A person cannot be lonely while quilting!

Mother note:  My husband visited my mother again today and facilitated another Skype between us. She was in the bed, but in great shape mentally.  I asked her what she had done today.  She said that she had gone to a musical function and that it was a special only for the very old and decrepit and therefore she was invited.  And, she had a lovely time.
