Internal Debate

Tue Mar 24, 2009 at 11:17 pm in Embroidery, WIP, quilting

For those of you who asked, I did not go far to take the pictures for my blanket.  I did not leave Austin.  In fact, I did not even leave my apartment complex.  That lovely porch, that huge live oak and those bluebonnets are located approximately 50 yards from my front door.  For those of you that have been to my home and are thinking, “you’ve got to be kidding” I promise you, it’s true.  And if you looked slightly to the left of those pictures, you’d see a hill that overlooks most of Austin.  Pretty cool, eh?

Internal Debate:

Lazy StitchesI thought hard about whether to continue the birches quilt, and I eventually decided to forge ahead. I think I’m pushing it now that it’s spring, and this is such a winter sort of idea for me.

However, it’s true that the stitching I want to do is minimal, and I can complete it within a week.  I also really want to finish it.  My other option was to put it away until next December, and I just didn’t want another unfinished project lingering around in the back of my head.  I know it would do that.

So  I just wish I’d finished it more quickly, but such was not to be.

So there’s a hint of it, those are stitches I’m keeping.  There are more where those came from.

And do you know what?  With all the blanket-crocheting-and-blanket-stitching, I’m going to completely finish all four seasons of Bones before any of this is done.  I’m very glad for Hulu.  Hulu is my stitching savior, the thing that give me stuff to watch when I don’t feel like sitting and talking to myself.  I sort of wish I hadn’t ended up watching Grease 2 on one of those crochet binges, but what can you do?

Well it certainly looks beautiful so far! I would say continue. I always hate when I don’t finish up a project, it eats away at me until I finish it! lol But hey, you’ll have a beautiful blanket fro the upcoming winter!
