Fragment & Class Quotes.
It’s great to launch a new website. It’s great to HAVE a new website when you are getting ready to be a vendor at the largest International Quilt Market & Festival on the planet.
Fragment Creation Station (on my Bed)
What’s NOT good is trying to keep my promise to you that I will be more present and accounted for online WHILE you are, at the same time, trying to get prepared for this biggest show in town. I have taught there for years. Teaching takes a lot of preparation too, don’t get me wrong. But it’s something I’ve been doing for so long that I have it all down to a science. This is all
new. And I want to put my best foot forward, so I am giving it my all, my every moment, every day, all day, until I fall into bed at 10 and watch
Project Runway,
Top Chef or the really, really good new show,
The Good Wife (welcome back Julianna Margulies. You can actually watch it online right now. I highly recommend.)Â
Petite Ironing Station
Anyway, my point is, I’m busy. Very busy. I have a white board full of tasks, projects, necessities, reminders, notes, dates, deadlines,  must-dos and if-you-have-time-dos. I am organized. Very organized. Here’s where my life skills and 38 years (and still counting) of raising 6 children come into play. Every step of the process completed is one step nearer my goal. I don’t count down the days, I just keep working. It’s hard, it’s demanding, it consumes my thoughts day and night. And I love it. (Sidenote: If you’re looking at the photos, just know that it’s my mind that is organized, not my workspace.)
Simplicity Rotary Cutter
From the looks of the photos, you might think all I’m doing is making Fragments. I wish. It’s the fun part amidst all the business and busyness stuff. But I also have been working on another fun project for the Simplicity Designer Challenge using their new Rotary Cutting and Bias Tape Maker Machines. If you’re at Market, look for it in their booth. If not, you’ll see it here next month. Here’s a sneak preview.
What are these girls waiting for?
And if you happen to be going to Quilt Market and/or Festival, please, pretty please, visit me in Booth #1351 during the shows. Or catch a Fragment class at Make It University during the Festival.
If you’ve read this far. I’d really love a word of encouragement, a “You go girl” or “You can do it.” You’d be amazed what a friendly comment can do to spur one on.
PS I owe you 2 stories from the last post. I do want to tell them, but we’ll save that for another, more relaxed time. For now it’s crunch time and back to work.
