A new start

  As part of starting over, I took a good look at what I have around the studio, and considered this against how many years I may have left  on this earth.  This created a new "to Do" list.  There are three projects for which I have purchased all the necessary supplies, and carefully stored those supplies away, within the studio or storeroom.  Best get busy.

Last evening, while watching tv, I started a new EPP piece, using a commercial pattern, " Tula Nova" by Tula Pink.  This is fairly complicated, using several different shapes, in a circular setting, ending up about 56 inches in diameter.  OMG!  What have I got myself into?  My hope is that this will be completed while I participate in a couple of recurring social events  in which I find joy.   More of the piece can be done while watching the daily evening news.

Second is a very simple machine design.  Four and a half inch squares pieced to be about 40 inches square.  I need to make two of these in order to have one quilt for the first child of each of my four Grandchildren.  The first two have been made and have been ready for several years, but it's time to get started on the last two.

Thirdly is the piece based on the techniques of Maria Shell, that I mentioned in the last post.  Those supplies are ready and waiting, too.

Before starting the machine work, all that needs doing is the binding on two finished quilts.
