This weekend I participated in the Spring Clean Your Studio Blog hop. Actually I’ve been working on the big clean for about 2 weeks. I got about 80% of the work done that I wanted, but with my date early in April, I needed to get what I could done and post on time. I have really been enjoying what feels like a completely new studio. I can imagine my mother smiling because of how neat the room is, although I will admit to a little bit of what she called “on the top pinky, underneath stinky” – if you open a lot of those bins and drawers they are still pure chaos. At least I can move around in the room and I can easily cut and iron without having to shuffle things around. I’m going to work hard to keep it this way.
With all the stuff that has been going on lately, I have more evenings with no commitments. I’m focusing on time at home (my dog is thrilled, the cat not so much) and finding myself sewing in the studio a lot more during the week than usual. I have dived into the Bonnie Hunter Unity Quilt project with my center medallion done. I can’t wait to see what she has for us this week for the next round. If you want to join in, go to www.quiltville.com and look for the Unity Quilt tab. You can also follow the hashtag #unityquilt to see some of the lovely things that are being created.
I keep reminding myself during this time to be kind to others, be kind to myself, be supportive, and learn how to keep my mouth shut. I’ll just keep sewing, that’s the best thing I can do. I hope you all stay safe and healthy – I’m know I’m going to have a lot of things to quilt when this is all over.
