Now To Move On

Well, I have done an audit of all my UFO's, I really do not need to look at anything else till I finish, let alone start or think about any other project.

There are 14 items that need completing. Some of which includes, quilts, cross-stitching, embroidery and small sewing projects. Three of which I started at Almond Grove Crafts, on the weekend workshop I attended at the end of July, they have moved along and are nearly finished.
I just have to sit and work on them or take them with me to work on while I wait for Elleni at netball or soccer.

I'll have to visit Liz Fergerson and take over the finished quilt tops for her to machine quilt. She lives over the river at Loxt and runs her machine quilting business from home. The work she is doing is exquisit she has lovely ideas that set of any quilt.

I wonder what UFO's people have and what their stashes include. I really have to make an effort and finish all these lovely things and put them on display at home.

I get really excited when creating or giving birth to a new project, working on the design, choosing fabrics and playing with the different colourways! I put it down to the creative process.
Tthe challenge is what I enjoy and then to get started and to see what everything looks like as it is being created. The the sense of achievement when one has created something for your loved ones to wear, to snuggle under, to beautify your home and to give a sense of pleasure to all those you love and those that enter your home.

The other thing I find inspiring is that handicrafts foster a feeling of sisterhood among women. From my quilt group "Evening Star Quilters in Renmark, the McCormick Art Group, and on the blogs I have found here in blogland, is the encouragement and sharing of ideas that women give to each other and all the fabulous work that is created. Plus the joy that is found by all in their chosen creative expression.

When you are inspired....

talents come alive

How true for all of us.
