A few quilts............

Here we are at the start of another week. It is scary just how fast time is going. I am trying to balance work and rest, and managing to do that, as long as I don't look too hard at my "to do" list. Last week I finished a few quilts, and stayed home all week, until Friday. Pat and I drove to the city for our bi- monthly Appraisal Panel day, which is always a good day out. We get to see a great variety of quilts and share much discussion with the other panel members. We had a couple of stops on the way home, followed by a visit with mum and dad, and arrived home about 8.30 pm. On Saturday I finished a custom quilt that was on the machine and Sunday was a day of rest! There are a lot of things I could have done, but have to admit to spending the day in the recliner, reading, and watching TV. Is that balance, or is it going too much the other way??

I have a few quilt photos this morning, first a chevron quilt made by Maree. This was quilted allover with a pattern called "Whatever". It's quite amusing when they tell me to choose a pattern, and say whatever you like. And I tell them I have one called "whatever", and use it!!

This was made by Sue in a Mystery retreat, and called Summer Soliel. The fabric has butterflies and flowers on it, and Sue wanted a butterfly pattern quilted allover.

This large quilt, made by Suzie, has lots of different sampler blocks, mostly made with small pieces, and was quilted allover with a pattern called Modern Serpentine. I just love that texture.

Well that's enough for today, it's time to pin the large quilt onto Max that is waiting. It is almost 8am and I have been up since 5am, and seemed to have spent quite a bit of time on this computer. I have replied to emails, done some online banking, printed some documents, had breakfast, drank 2 coffees, done some Bible study, tidied the desk, put some things away, and can't procrastinate any longer!!

Have a good week, wherever you are, and whatever you are doing.
