Sometimes I feel like I have to drag myself back into reality, and the past few weeks have been no exception. Since the funeral for DH's grandmother and the passing of my friend Rita, I've been waylaid by the head cold from hell. I'm still not 100%; I have shortness of breath and a cough that has been lingering.
This past weekend was our quilt show for the Fiber Art Divas group I am a part of. Our first show, and the first debut of my "large" quilt Road to Home. I worked through sickness, and a shortened time frame from being away, to get this done in time. I'm glad it's done, and I'm thinking ahead to other quilts to make, and the hopes that this will get photographed and entered into the Mancuso Show in Harrisburg PA.
There's so much to do around the house, the lawn and garden are sorely disregarded right now, and need some attention. My sister got a house and got engaged on the same day, so I have spent some time over at her place helping strip wallpaper and paint, but my own place is crying out for some TLC. The laundry, the dishes, all kinds of chores need doing. It can get overwhelming.
Sometimes, just keeping up with a weekly project or on some other task can make sure you see things through to the end, and be able to come back to reality. That's how it was with this month's weekly quilts. They started off with the best of intentions, the idea that they would be a form of perspective and the Principles of Art, and also use a unique shape. They look a little strage, the further along the project went, and I have one more week to try to pull the idea together...

I like them. May I suggest diamonds for the last one? I finally got to meet Finn and he is obsessed with planets as well as animals. He would LOVE that first one! It's so sci-fi!
Sometimes reality isn't all that fun.....
I love the top quilt!!
Looking forward to getting to know you through the quilting arts group.
