Birthday gifts


Wow. I can't believe it's been a whole month since I last updated! There have been so many evenings that I've wanted to write, but just didn't have the energy to put together a new entry, or to even work on a project. I recently started a new job, and have spent the last month adjusting to a new schedule and attempting to manage my energy. I'm only now gaining the upper hand!

On a positive project note, I did finish up a birthday gift for my mother-in-law. Remember the Patchwork Star I made in June? Well, I spent a good two weeks sewing the star onto a piece of muslin. When it was finally finished, Joel stretched it on a piece of matt board, and framed it. It took much longer than I initially planned, but I made my deadline, and my Mum received her gift on time. And, she loved it!

I'm finding myself drawn more and more to quilting! Maybe it's because it's one of the few projects I can work on while plopped on the couch and watching TV?

Well, I have a quilt planned out (more about that soon), and can't wait to go fabric shopping this weekend. I promise I won't neglect this blog as much.
