I realized the other day that I used to make much better use of little moments. Lately I tend to put off any sewing projects until I have several uninterrupted hours to dedicate (which does not happen nearly as often as I'd like). Then I remembered how I used to have blocks cut and ready to go next to the sewing machine, so that whenever I found 10 minutes here or 15 minutes there, I would sew up a block or two. So I decided that for the month of February, I would try to work on a quilting/sewing project for a minimum of fifteen minutes a day. Hopefully, I will log more time on many days, but at least I'll always get a little something done and feel that I'm moving forward.
Not long after I made that decision I read about Kelly's similar idea and joined her Create! flickr group. The idea is to do something creative every day in February and post it to the group. Check it out, and maybe you'll want to join in the fun.
With bee blocks and wedding projects, I should have plenty to keep me busy this month. And then I had to go and join two quilt-alongs! I just couldn't help myself!
CHQ quilt-along, led by Cherri House
Single Girl Quilt-Along, led by Nova, Katy, and Megan.
And, since today is February 1st, I started off the month with a bee block finish. Chris' (Izzy Inspired) block for Bee Hexed In is finally finished and ready to be mailed tomorrow!
And happiness is making the thread last until the very last little hexie had been sewn down!
Maybe another bee block finish for tomorrow night? Come back and see!
With wishes, true and kind -- Joan
