New Year -- New Start

I did finish Jojo's chuppah in time (the night before...) in spite of "interruptions" i.e. surprise visits of Inbal with baby Amit and Rotem. Since I finished the chuppah (the wedding was September 6th), I have not been in my studio. A bad cold a slight depression when the kids left, yada yada.
But it is a new year and time to get cracking on new things. Granted commitments from last year but new nevertheless.
Two of those commitments are related to FibreArts Toronto. We're doing a slice quilt and the slices were to have been completed already. I haven't started. So I've got to get moving on that. I just have to figure out if the pant hem materials I have will work.
Also we each have to do new pieces for our November library show. Since inspiration hasn't really hit, I'm going to be doing a recycled fabric triptych collage. I will use the embroidered sheer fabric removed from Jojo's chuppah perimeter and the three circles I started on for grounds for change, fuse some fancy fabrics and trims, a little machine serpentine stitching over them, some beading and embroidery, and hopefully have something to make the pieces work together. I know, not terribly original but I can claim that I'm working in a series.
We are going to New York at the end of October and then Israel mid-November so I've got to get back to a routine of an hour before work and an hour after if I want to complete things on time.
And wouldn't it be nice if I could finish "Marty's Ties" so I can take it to Ruthie?
Off to stitch.
