Work-in-Progress

 “People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.”
~ Abraham Lincoln


My nephew's quilt is nearing completion
and that makes me happy.

This is a snuggle size quilt for one person.



I would like to make more time to work with my hands.

I find it relaxing.  But as I do it so seldom, I tend to do it to excess 
as I don't know when I might do it again.


I still have to quilt it and I haven't decided whether to do it by hand or by machine. 

I will only do a "light" quilting job so that the finished effect is more or less, reversible.  


This throw has has a nice loft making it extra cosy.

I'm joining up with  I Heart Macro for this post.

BREAKING NEWS:  In sad news, there was a terrorist attack on innocent citizens at an upscale mall in Nairobi, Kenya yesterday. See more here.  Please pray for the government and security to get the perpetrators and bring security for their citizenry and tourists.

  6. That quilt is so glorious. Sounds like you are hankering after more quilting time or just more creative time. I was very sad to hear about the terrorist attack in Kenya yesterday and my thoughts are with all those trying to keep people safe. x
