Things have been a bit up and down in our family dealing with the unexpected passing of a family member and supporting an another elderly family member who is quite ill.
It's Melbourne Cup weekend in Victoria and I am on a short break before the countdown to the end of the school year begins.
Throughout my life, I have found for me the best way to cope with stressful times is to sew. At university when an assignment was due, I made myself a new clothing item whilst doing the assignment. I found the time being creative helped me to think more clearly and calmly.
Back in September, I got to visit one of my favourite Melbourne quilt shops Primitive Patches in Mentone (Lower Dandehong Rd) . I purchased this kit there and am contemplating starting it as the hard work of choosing the colours has been done. Don't be surprised though if I add and take away fabrics as I go along!
I don't have the discipline of my friend Loz who only works on one project at a time so I am also telling myself I could move this long term UFO on a bit too!
There are 13 snowball blocks to be made to alternate with the 9 patches and I have 8 made.
This project is starting to accure some Frequent Flier miles as it started its life here in Brisbane and lived here in our various residences and then it has just had a little "holiday" in Victoria and now it's back in Brissie. So maybe I should spend a little time on it before it is packed up and moved again! Hmmm...decisions!
