Already my plans for 2007 have taken a down turn. I had hoped to complete two quilt tops each month. I had previously planned projects ahead that would make that goal possible without even one fabric purchase. I should have gotten off to a good start with my Mystery Quilt Plans for New Years Eve and New Years Day. It didn’t exactly turn out that way.
I will not be able sew as much as I would like in 2007. An old injury is causing me such discomfort that I will need to curtail my sewing time. Perhaps it will improve but until then I am moving rather slowly.
Instead of completing all 9 clues on New Years Day, I am just finishing clue 5. This is going to be a lovely quilt when it is done. It just will take a bit longer.
Don't push yourself so hard! You halfway completed a top in one day. If you finish the whole top on 1/1, then you'll have 30 days to do the second top. Hopefully you'll be able to sew without aching and will get tons accomplished in 2007.

just do what you can even if it isn't according to plan. Don't worry if it takes a bit longer just have fun along the way while you work on the project.
ReplyDeleteSuze, Don't be so hard on yourself; relax and enjoy! You need to adopt my new attitude - 2007 is all about fun!
ReplyDeleteMum, You have always told me to enjoy the process..You need to do the same. It isn't just about the finished product, it is also about the joy of the project.
ReplyDeleteWow I hope you take time to enjoy your quilting... Rebekah sure is wise...enjoy the journey..i hope your injury gets better....Toni
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to add the Pink Heart quilt to your list. I finished another block today and started the next one. I am really looking forward to our summer vacation. It makes the winter seem less cold.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get over the injury quickly. Meanwhile, go esy on yourself and listen to your daughter.
ReplyDeleteOh dear - don't you just hate it when the spirit is willing, the time is there, but the flesh is weak? Most of the time I think to myself that I can't possibly be as old as the years say I am, but sometimes when the pain is in my back or hands I feel every day of my age. I'm so sorry to hear that you've aggrevated an old injury - how frustrating that must be for you. Listen to your body and rest every time you hurt - you want to heal as quickly as you can. After all - quilting isn't a race, though much of the time we seem to treat it that way. We'll be eagerly waiting to see your progress.
