Pat Sloan - Writing is my life

Well my post yesterday was quilte interesting....

it was great to hear what you do

and don't do

and don't want to do in regards to Basting.

I'll work on a post to show you how I baste.

Maybe a few of you will get up off the floor and give it a try.. wink!

By the way.. did you see you can comment BACK to someone on the blog now?

Now FAB-O is that!!  Give it a try!

It's been a long week of writing.. and I see sewing on the table

And in boxes

and Drawings

And I LOVE to write (see I even wrote it AGAIN!)

But really.. today I NEED to sew.

How about you?

What do you love to do but sometimes you've just had enough of it?

Tell me, I won't tell anyone... promise

I have to join those who like to start projects but have a wee bit of a problem finishing them.

Gardening in the mud in Mn---after a few years of drought---someone wished too hard for rain---yet I am blessed--so many in the country have real problems.....

I get tired working on same project. The thrill of starting something new gets gone too quickly. So I have lots of starts & not enough finishes.

[TheaM]

I love to start things... finishing seems to take forever!

I'm like you on the writing. I don't mind it, but sometimes I just wanna sew instead. That right there is the one reason I make "other people's patterns" sometimes (like the Farmer's Wife quilt) or something just for me . . . so I can at least sew some of the time without having to write the instructions as I go.

I love to Free-motion Quilt but get bored somedays, have to do some stitching...I never tire of making the Quilt tops. Hence the reason I have to put them on the quilt table and quilt them. It's a vicious circle!
If you're internet is down, you must be on your smart phone.

Well, I love to baste with sprayglue, and added a tutorial 2 summers ago on my blog. Take a look!

I LOVE TO TEACH, but when it's been a long day or I dream about a bunch of talking kids who won't listen (last night's nightmare) I know it's time to cruise the internet, sew,or knit.

I love to crochet and knit, and make Comfort Shawls for the local hospital. However, they require two skeins of a specific yarn and size 13 knitting needles. By the time I get to the second skein, my hands are so tired from holding those big needles. I need to stop for a while and do something else before I can finish that second skein.

Someone made a comfort shawl for my brother before he died and it meant a lot to him. The idea that someone would like my shawl to warm them keeps me going.

I love to come to your blog every morning and read your writing. It's a jump start of the day. I think when I am machine quilting, sometimes I just get enough of it and have to walk away for a while.

I'm like Lynne, I start quilts and sewing projects and never finish them! Even ones with deadlines I am hopelessly behind... I LOVE to sew!! But I lack the discipline to finish before I get attracted by a new start.

[Donna]

I've got a quilt I've been hand quilting because my walking foot broke. I'm tired of this quilt - it's been sitting in my frame for a couple of weeks now. I'm yearning to start another but know I can't finish it. Sigh.

[Lynne (Lily's Quilts)]

I love to start a quilt but I struggle to finish any :-)

Sometimes, ironing----I mean I ABSOLUTELY LOVE pressed clothes, but I dread the 'ironing pile'....once I get into it, I'm on a roll....but until I get the energy up to start, well....sometimes the pile is a little high, I'm afraid!!! There, I said it.
