Thursdays are for Quilting!

Yesterday’s progress on the Snails Trail project!

I took yesterday to embrace the “no more laundry” silence – declared it a day of “social media distancing” and tuned into a couple of podcasts while giving myself permission to do NOTHING BUT SEW.

As I talked to my dad last night (We talk every evening around 7pm my time, sometimes by video call, sometimes just voice.) and tried to explain my day to him in terms of “I really didn’t do much.” it hit me – It wasn’t that I didn’t DO MUCH, it’s that I didn’t have multiple plates spinning all at the same time trying to keep them all going.

I did ONE THING.  I settled in and sewed.  I didn’t read other people’s rants on Facebook (Because sometimes, you know – if the rant is good enough you have to also read all 937 comments and it's a time suck!) I didn’t get drawn into anything political or bad-newsy.

I just sewed.

And I loved it.

And so did Lola.

Who loves to ride shotgun on my lap while I stitch.

Love the creative mess you make!

We are kicking off the “Love your Creative Space” tour today – and I may be the first one to direct you to Christa Watson’s blog as she is the first stop on the tour.

And then head over to my publisher to visit the C&T blog for their post!

As I am on the East Coast, at my own writing time the C&T blog isn’t showing their new post yet, but it’s only 5am there time.  So check back if it hasn’t gone live yet.

And yes, there is a Give-Away.  Find the directions to enter on each post and leave your entry there.

What else can you find on the C&T blog?  

How about a Podcast episode with ME?! Listen Here!   I had a great time chatting with Roxann about This, That & Everything.

Itching to get back to these today.

Snail’s Trail is a traditional block and there are many different variations out there if you just turn to the magic of Google (Also known as “the oracle!”)

My quilt is not complete yet so there is no pattern at the current time.  As in the case of the chicken and the egg – for me the quilt comes first, then the pattern when the quilt is finished.  Thanks for understanding!

This was waiting for me when I got home -

“Where’s dinner?!”

And just to start your Friday off with a giggle and a grin -

Oh, ZOEY!

You are such a hoot!

Our weekend will kick off this evening with a quick trip to Wallburg to retrieve some things and do some other things that must be done.  We should be back by bedtime.

My post will go live in the morning when I can get it posted.

And then into the weekend we go!

Quiltville Quote of the Day -

Send out positive ripples, my friends. (And try not to multitask yourself into a frenzy!)

“Just as ripples spread out when a single pebble is dropped into water, the actions of individuals can have far-reaching effects.” ~ Dalai Lama

Have a great Friday!
