One of my quilting magazines came in this week. That’s always a time of great celebration. You take the magazine, your favorite beverage, and a quilt, and find a place to hibernate while you flip through it and get a sense of the contents. If you have enough time, you can read it from cover to cover.
\nThis particular magazine has an ongoing column of tips offered by readers. There was one tip that was so very clever, I had to laugh.
\nTHis woman wrote in, talking about orphan projects….those projects that you started with such good intention, but partway through the process you have abandoned them, never to finish. We all have them. Some of us have more of them than we’d care to admit. I have one or two. Well….maybe three.
\nAt any rate, this woman had one of the best tips I’d ever heard. She directed the reader to box the orphan project up in a lovely box, complete with attractive tissue paper and wrapping, and a bow around the box. Then you were to write a loving note to your daughter, and attach it to the box and put the entire thing on a shelf in your closet.
\nYour daughter would find the box when you were gone, and know that you were thinking of her.
\nI told my mother to be sure that my SISTERS names were on the boxes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
