Did you make any resolutions for the new year? I didn't bother this year, seeing as where I didn't keep even one from last year! I am hoping that I will do a couple of things this year, but I'm not calling them resolutions, that seems to doom me from the start.
One thing I'd like to do is NOT wait until the absolute last minute to make class samples . . . (ok, so far that one isn't going so well . . .). This weekend I had FOUR, yes FOUR projects that needed to be finished - three for classes and the fourth is the shop hop quilt due on Monday. I actually finished one class sample Wed morning, and whipped off the remaining two today. I'm ready for tomorrow - phew!
The shop hop quilt, well ok, it's not going to be finished by Monday but in my defense the fabric for the center of the blocks only arrived yesterday. I'll get a couple of blocks done Sunday morning but there is no way the whole quilt will be finished and photographed by Monday.
So why do I do this to myself? I knew about those class samples for at least a month. Is it true that I really work best under pressure? Maybe. Am I just a procrastinator at heart? Probably. Do I just like to torture myself? Maybe!
I'm heading to Massachusetts to see Mom next weekend so I don't have any class samples due for then. The week after I'm heading to FL with Karen Montgomery to attend Kaye's College so I won't have any class samples due for then either. Wanna put a bet I'm sewing frantically the week I get back on a class sample instead of doing it between now and the time I leave for FL? Although there is that shop hop quilt that needs to be done . . . . .maybe a FIRM resolution would work?????
