If my children’s sports schedule weren’t enough to keep me busy, I have several quilt commissions on my list of things to finish up this month. I’m making a bed scarf for someone who is moving at the end of the month, need to finish a twin sized bed quilt, and also make a three panel wall hanging. Can’t you picture me madly quilting in all my copious downtime?
Several of these projects have lost their allure for me. That’s what happens when your hobby turns into work. But I’m going to push my way through 1) because I said I would and 2) because the sooner I finish these things up, the sooner I can start on my own projects. My little boy has asked me for a “big” quilt and I’d like to oblige him before he grows out of the sea turtle pattern I have in mind.
And in between all the rest, I am still trying to find time to write. I’m toying with the idea of bringing my laptop to tennis practice on occasion. If I can assume a suitably off-putting demeanor to discourage chit-chat, it might just be my best chance to get something done!
