Why I work…
Think what you will, but there’s a clear reason or two I work. Yes, food is good, car is good, clothes are good blah blah blah.
Here and here are the real reasons why I work a day job.
It’s good to have priorities.

Besides “Red Sky Red Sky“, the quilt-in-progress shown below, I’m also working on a new quilt that is blue and yellow (yeah I know what a surprise) and today we took official photos of the quilt my Mother and I made. Amazing what a little flurry of activity can get ya. (totally jazzed to do more is what it really gets ya!) All I know is that all my clothes are covered with bits of thread.

Red Sky Red Sky
Sneak preview of one of my in-progress quilts.
Just a quick digital shot. It’s really too big to hang and photo in my space and too big for the flash on the camera, but there you go.

What an exciting week. First off, the days off and spending them with my friends from East Side Quilters was very exciting and rejeuvenating. I got so much done – much of it tedious. As I told a few people, the quilts I’m currently doing can only be described as “My Life, an inch and a half at a time” What WAS I thinking?
Anyway my Mom worked very hard on our mother-daughter quilt, finishing the binding, the sleeve and finishing off all the threads she could find. When I got home, I finished the last bits of quilting and the resulting threads and except for the label, it’s done. Definitely ready for official photos. I also finished one of the tops I was working on over the weekend.
It is SUCH a joy to see something come together – so very energizing all on its own. And let me tell you I am so mesmerized by what I’m working on, sometimes I hate to go to my day job and leave the quilt-in-progress at home.
Since I’m done with that one, I have a lot of ironing of seams to do on my other big project aka “Red Sky Red Sky” – many many seams.
I’m currently reading “The Creative Habit: Learn It and Use It For Life” by Twyla Tharp. All I can say is totally WOW. Read it no matter your creative interest. I’ll be re-reading it for a long time.
