What with Noam's Bar-Mitzvah and then Pesach (Passover), I haven't been in my studio much and haven't done any sewing.
But now I'm back and will try to get into a routine of sewing an hour or two a day and a bit more on the weekends.
I readied my studio, junking clippings of stuff I will never make, templates for projects I no longer care to do, etc.
This morning, I resumed quilting my curved multi-coloured baby quilt. I wasn't happy with the quilting which I started with a walking foot. But I decided to keep going and finish it. In "the big picture", the wonderful piecing will be the main event and the stitching will hold it together. I'll get more creative in the future. At this point, I just want to finish it.
Same with the quilt for Lior and Neta's new baby whose name at the moment escapes me. Oy, is the memory fuse ever faulty!
I have also decided to finally tackle Inbal's quilt to do the quilting. It doesn't have to be perfect, just heartfelt. And the charity baby quilts of the one a month new year's resolution of which so far none have been completed...
On more encouraging news, FibreArts Toronto has applied for exhibition space at the Toronto Public Libray. We won't know til mid-June if we've been accepted but it's a step in the right direction.
At the Pomegranate Guild meeting last week, we had a "garage sale". I didn't get anything packed up in time to sell but I did buy a bag of "stuff", mostly needlepoint yarns but also some fabric, for $2.00. My "fibre diet", you ask? It was a small bag and for a good cause. And everyone falls off the wagon now and then.
We were in Perth this week to check out winter damage at camp. There didn't appear to be any. Hopefully the vandals will not be overly active between our visit and June 1st when Menachem goes up for the summer.
Our next trip there is planned for the Labour Day weekend. We'll take up the stuff we need to set up our room and hopefully have a mini-vacation before the summer starts.
Back to stitch.
