Today was a working day, albeit a light one. My car is in the shop for two days getting a broken axle repaired so I was working from home, and although some clients were open and wanting their materials ASAP, many were closed.
I took advantage of the slow day to get to finally start a little sewing between the interruptions:
The quilt is made of the three fabrics to be used for the crib set, The lime green border surrounds the two blue fabrics that are used in the rest of the room. I have been hoping that the green can be used to tie the two blues together, and unify the set. It is reversible, blue on one side, blue-violet on the other side. The colors are all pretty, and they are pretty with the green, but I don’t like the blues together.
This is one of the reasons that I don’t usually like sewing for other people. I get all excited about the idea, and I love making things for my grandson, but I dislike making things that someone else wants but I don’t like.
Selfish, selfish I know.
But I enjoyed sewing the quilt. I should finish the rest of the crib set in the next day or two.
But first I have a new computer to install. Yeah that’s right, the old computer died a slow death. I could have resurrected it, but I my heart wasn’t really in it, this was the third of fourth equipment failure on this computer, all under warranty, but each time the computer is harder and harder to get going again with different generations of hardware that are incompatible. There comes a time when throwing in the towel is the best recourse.
