Quilt Therapy needed

Hello All

As usual the to-do list for life and work is way too long and I've only seemed to be adding to it indiscriminately. I think that it will only end when I retire which is a bit more than two years away. Can I hope to have a too-long-to-quilt list? One can hope.

The work desk is piled high, as is the quilting desk. I know which one I want to tackle first, but I also know which one will win. Bert, bless his heart, made the comment on Friday evening that I just need some quilting time. Isn't that an all-knowing and astute better half?

I really need to get started on another quilt for Grandma in the nursing home. I did the blue and yellow, Yellow Brick Road pattern two years ago and this time I've found a pattern that looks very random, but if I follow the directions which might be a bit confusing, the lime greens and pinks should make something very bright and cheery.

I also have a rainbow pallette for another Yellow Brick Road. Plan on making it for the young man/former student that I've been helping out for the past year.

Also too many other projects on the shelf that are just waiting to be started. And of course there is a trip over winter break that will need a hand project to take along.

Anyways, hadn't posted in a while and it's been rather quiet so here I am.

Good to hear from you Steven. My 'to-start's are in a pile in a cupboard in my sewing room (all horizontal surfaces are covered with other things. I hate having to prioritise, but there you go we have to! If I don't get my tax return finished in the next three weeks for instance, I will get a quite large fine >gHello All

It is good to hear from you! It is good of you to make another quilt for your grandmother. I don't think we ever have enough time to sew the things we really want and need to do. Barbara in cold SC

I think I've told you this story before but bear with me, I enjoy telling it. At MIL's nursing home, one of the dear hearts also a patient there had been the Housekeeper In Charge (!) of somewhere important like the Governor's Mansion. Daily she wandered through the rooms, rearranging things, watering the plants (including the silk ones) and turning all the tv sets to her stories. This included distributing blankets and quilts as she saw fit. Do put something on your grandmother's quilt that will easily identify it. Polly
