I have always loved fabrics. So, it is no wonder that I became a quilter. Trying to find time to quilt every day is a challenge even for a retired person such as me. Retirement means that you are just not in the workplace getting a paycheck; you are out in the world helping to make it a better place. I'll try to add a blog every day, but don't count on it. Hope your quilting makes you feel as happy as mine does!

When will I have time to quilt?
Today is one of those busy days. I guess I could have worked on one of my quilts this morning, but I felt it was necessary to try to figure out how to get this blog to working. After never having written a blog, I feel great. Well, I'm hoping this works. Perhaps I'll have some time before lunch to work on sewing the binding on a quilt my mother made. Then it will be time for lunch. After lunch, I will go to my art class where I'm working on a watercolor of a vase of flowers. I may also work on a pastel of another flower. After art class, I'll have a few minutes to put a load of laundry in the washer and then eat supper. Then it's off to my library board of trustees meeting. That will last until about 9:00 pm at which time the new tv show "Genealogy Roadshow" comes on. That is a must for me. While I'm watching, I may work on piecing my Grandmother's Flower Garden quilt, which is English paper pieced. It is getting larger little by little. At one point, I thought to my self, "What made me attempt this large of a quilt with these small pieces that are English paper pieced." But, you know, it has been quite a bit of enjoyment knowing that I don't have a deadline for it; it is just fun no-thought piecing. Take care.
