so long

It has been quite a fun summer of blogging, but now fall is here and it’s time for other things. I wanted to dip my toe into the ocean of blogging and see if I wanted to take the plunge. I think, for me, for now, I’m a reader rather than a writer (and there are a lot of writers out there!). I have had fun trying to think of creative things with which to entertain (not just readers, but me, too). Thank you for all of your comments. I have appreciated every single one.

I’ll be reading your blogs now and then and leaving snappy, brilliant witticisms when I can think of them.

So, time to move inward.

As a farewell, I thought I’d post a photo of my latest project. I could be downstairs pinning it, getting it one step closer to being finished, but instead I’m up here typing.

Here’s the top, anyway, because by the time I get it quilted the blog might be a thing of the past. I *hate* posting photos of quilt tops instead of finished quilts…I wouldn’t show you a half-baked cake…but time is of the essence!

You’ll likely notice that I took inspiration from Denyse Schmidt’s quilt Drunk Love 2-Tone. I even copied her colors (except that my binding is going to be brown…espresso, to be exact).

In her book there is a pattern for this quilt, which I have enthusiastically ignored. Each block is different; I can’t help thinking like students in a classroom.

Happy crafting, all.
