I’m trying to figure out just where the past year has gone! A friend recently asked if there comes a time as you age when time slows down again. I asked my mother how she felt about that question, and she felt that time continues to spiral away from us faster with each day we live. So far, I have to agree with her. Just yesterday, or so it seems, I was talking about four test blocks<\/a> I had created.
\nI decided to depart from my usual quilting style and make a block that is a one of a kind creation. This is not a quilt based on a historical pattern, but on a pattern that a friend created for me, so that I could feature a piece of batik I had owned for years.
\nI posted about those test blocks on January 31, 2004! I went on to make the blocks, and they were finished, and waiting to be assembled into a quilt top, when spring hit. I think the last time I got to sit at my sewing table was back in MAY!
\nLast weekend, I laid the blocks out, and the sewed them into seven rows. As I looked at them, I decided that I really needed one more row to complete the design that recurred over the face of the quilt. So, last Sunday, I cut out the pieces for five more blocks.
\nLast night, I sewed those pieces into five blocks, and then laid them out in the last row. I changed a couple of them around until I was satisfied, and then I pined them together.
\nThe cat kept me company as I watched a movie and pinned six of the rows together to be sewn today. I figure that the top will be assembled either tonight, or by tomorrow morning. YEA!!!!
\nI had hoped to have this project finished by April, so that I could send it off to be machine quilted. I am fully four months late…and it could be a little longer, if I decide to add borders to the quilt.
\nWhere does the time go? Is it moving faster? Am I moving slower? Do I have more to do now than I did thirty years ago? I’m sure everyone ponders these questions. When you have the answers, come visit me. We’ll have to have a long chat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
