THE WEEK THAT WAS..

Last week was one of those weeks where I really could not get anything done.   No matter what I did, I could not get myself enthused about anything to really work on.   

Have you ever had a day, week, month or even year like that?   Of course, my situation is somewhat in limbo and I do know that that adds to the difficulty.   But I just kind of stayed on the sidelines.    I did a little drawing, a little work with fabric, read a bit, but did not feel like I accomplished anything.  

I kept up with the regular household things like finances, cleaning, laundry, etc.   But it was like I was operating on automatic....hope all the bills I paid went to the right folks!!!!!

This week is a bit better, but although I have gotten things done, I still feel kind of 'just there'.   One of the things I finished was the challenge for my quilt group.   The challenge was called 'Chaos' and I choose to do it all with unfinished edges.  Everything was done but the final binding.   I tried turning and stitching and that did not look right.   Then I added some bias tape which I made to match, but that did not work either.   I also did not like the straight edges, so I decided to finish the quilt the same way I made it - with unfinished edges.   What I did was free cut the edge and then zigzag all around in the same gold thread that I used to quilt the piece.   I think it turned out pretty well.

I took some pictures of the challenge piece, but just as I was starting to download the pictures unto my Mac, the camera battery went dead.   Great timing!   Kind of like my last couple of weeks.

At any rate, I will download them and publish them tomorrow together with pictures of the other project I finished this week.

Thanks for stopping by...see you tomorrow.
