Playing Catch-Up

It’s a fun game.

I have a table in my room where I pile up fabric, organized into projects and assorted by due dates. That table is overflowing! The table has exploded onto the floor around it and things are in quite a mess. While I was immersed in the applique of the Stitchin’ Addiction quilt top, my fabric staged a coup!

I finished the quilt top earlier this week. It was more of a relief than a feeling of excitement. Although, every time I look at it, I swell with pride. It was far more challenging than I had anticipated, but I stuck to it and I finished it. I can’t wait to quilt it and bind it and see it hanging on my mom’s wall. It’s stunning for sure. It’s almost shocking to think that I made it all myself!



Of course, in my time sewing the Stitchin’ Addiction, other projects piled up … and piled up! I’ve spent the better part of the week tackling what I could, desperately trying to fit everything back on that table. I have quilts, blankets, tote bags all over the place. I’m slowly tackling them little by little, but for each project finished, two more appear. This week, instead of sitting at my computer telling you about the things I love, I’ve been sitting at my machine making them.

The good news is I love being busy.
