while stitching ...

Hello fellow bloggers, welcome to 2017 and wishing you all a very happy progressive year which is already 6 months  gone and I ponder what life has dealt our family so far ..

Planning for this year has been well underway and class projects to date this year have been in March we did a Lonestar/Star Quilt , April was Quilt as You go techniques and in May it was Scrap piecing a spiderweb cushion, June we had a break with queens birthday weekend and July we completed travelling cutting board and project pouches.

While sitting in my studio contemplating everything my eye caught a mistake in my Life is beautiful quilt... ha lucky i was staring in space but at the quilt as I discovered two red squares together instead of a cream and red....

So I have this unpicked ready to go...  This is so easy to make a mistake on you most definitely have to be on your toes and not be drinking wine when putting this together...


Life always takes on unexpected turns with families, children, friends and as life becomes more chaotic its good to think about what you need in life to achieve your goals.  Always be true to yourself and have fun in the process.

While I sit here very early morning thinking of my sister and her husband who has had an extremely serious car accident waiting for news of his progress I contemplate how life throws curveballs at us and how it makes us stronger and how we all matter in the scheme of things...
It's at times like this that stitching gives me comfort and allows me to be still and thoughtful...


Until next visit wishing you happy stitching...
