How can so much time go by without keeping up with this blog? Easy: living takes time, and recording that living takes time. I guess it just means that the recording wasn't as important as the living.
April 2008 was nearly three years ago. Since that quilt show, I chaired the next two. That means I was in charge of the quilt competition, not that I did all the work! I found that my day job REALLY got in the way of doing what I have committed to do. Chairing a quilt show requires so much up-front effort - receiving the quilt entries, ensuring that the information about each quilt is complete, and coordinating with others engaged in the process. Finally, we set up, attempt to operate smoothly, take down and clean the space.
I'm so glad I do not have such an overwhelming responsibility for the 2011 show!
And what about my creations, my quilts? Not many have been completed in these last two years. I thought that was very important to me, but action speaks loudest. I have planned a lot of quilts. I have worked on projects. I have more tops to quilt.
But I also have a daughter who graduated from high school, started college, transferred twice and is back in town, although not living with us (that's good!). We have maintained our connection and grown in relationship since then. I consider that most important.
Perhaps I'll remember to come back soon to explore how I quilt my life together, and whether that involves finishing actual quilts. We'll see...
