I moved back home this weekend. It will take me some time to settle , but after that I want to get my sewing into high gear. I have so many beautiful fabrics, if only time would allow.....I do want to make a table runner for my daughter-in-law for Thanksgiving and then after that I want to make some gifts for Christmas. Again, so little time. I feel inspired by my daughter, who is making some really fun quilts for her friends.......maybe I can be her friend too!

fabric on sale

Yesterday I went to a local fabric shop because they were having a sale. I have more fabric than I can use in a life time, or perhaps two life times, but it was a sale after all. I found fabric that my daughter was interested in so I called her in the middle of the store and luckily she answered. Would you like two yards of each? It was easier to justify to my husband who can along with me...darn. I love that she is now sharing my hobby. She however, is getting things done, and I just keep collecting. The fabric is beautiful, young and lively,and a stretch for me. It's nice to see possibilities that I may have passed by. It will be fun to see her create from it, and perhaps I will find some time to create myself.

The beginning

I was inspired to begin by my daughter. She directed me to view her blog and so I thought, why not try one myself. You must know that I am not the most comfortable person with technology, so this is a leap for me. Baby steps. Hopefully, I will have fun, and hopefully, my daughters will also.
It occurs to menow, that this is a prime example of a diversion that leads me away from my utlimate hobby, quilting, thus the title is appropriate...so little time.
