You lost one weekend of possible quilting time to travel in January. Without that distraction in February, it might be easier to get in the 33 hours. Also, when you get home from work you could set the timer for the length of time you want to relax in an unstructured way, knowing that when that timer goes off you'll commit to quilting.Saranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104451278382280307.post-55837536090585730582015-02-01T13:19:11.312-08:002015-02-01T13:19:11.312-08:00You're right- I have to squeeze 33 hours into ...You're right- I have to squeeze 33 hours into 28 days!

I think the biggest barrier to quilting during the week is being tired and unmotivated after work. I did teach a quilting class to a group of friends one weekend, so I spent a good chunk of one Sunday on that, and a number of hours early that week to prepare.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15629251191433752379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9104451278382280307.post-89561204373715339292015-02-01T12:01:47.435-08:002015-02-01T12:01:47.435-08:00I tend to flitter from one thing to another too.

There is no line as you go from the light to the dark. To keep myself productive, I'm still trying to use the 15 minutes a day, but now I try for 30 minutes. I just love the chart! I think I am going to start marking my calendar when I sew or knit. It looks like you are more inclined to quilt on the weekends and skip days during the week. Makes sense. It can be hard to find the energy to sew after working all day. As you look back at those dates, what stopped you from quilting? Other activities? Meetings? Energy level? I always have to balance sewing with reading--especially if I get into a good book.

Seeing the trees in pictures really shows the shading that you do. I'll have to remember to step back when I look at your quilts.

Thanks for the ...Best of luck on this unique idea! Thanks for the comment on my blog post too. You asked what was at the baseboards at my solo show, "Last Words". These are artificial flowers collected from cemetery dumpsters. Each blossom is carefully dissected to remove the fabric ... which is then washed in the guest bathroom's tub and dried in a giant gauze bag in the dryer or spread out on towels on the bathroom floor. I've used these petals in the creation of several garments that were made on water soluble stablizer, including "The Leaf Dress" which has won awards in a couple competitions like the International Wearable Art Award in Fort Moody, British Columbia. I've used these flowers for a couple store front window installations and last year's South Carolina fiber invitational. I've also used these flowers for my only performance art piece called "Ophelia". I LOVE THESE FLOWERS! LOL! Each one was brought to a cemetery as a token of love and remembrance but then tossed into a dumpster and intended to be spilled into a landfill. By rescuing them, I feel I get the "love and remembrance" as well as the good vibes of recycling. Basically, they make me happy! Thanks for asking.<br />Susan<br />PS If you google my name and the title "Leaf Dress" or the title "Ophelia", you can probably find images of these artpieces.<br />PSS GO BUCKS! I was born in Columbus and graduated in 1980 at age 20 from The Ohio State University with an undergraduate degree in Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

Dyeing your own fabric is great because you can get such a range of colours, shades and tints that all blend with each other - or not if that is what you want. It is very satisfying and works out a lot cheaper!<br />I can see why lush colours of fabrics are your favorite design element. Your trees are fantastic. Both your pieced version and the 'snippet' version are very impressive and your ribbon well deserved.
