mending...


Quilting and mending are *not* related. One I look forward to eagerly. I carefully plan my week around a block of time dedicated to bonding with scraps of fabric. I try to snag some extra moments to try new fabric combinations or sketch another design. The other, I am quite adept at avoiding. I've had this bed spread, three shirts and a pair of shorts waiting for my attention for a couple of months now. It's a good thing my daughter needed the shorts hemmed for a Memorial Day parade. My inertia has finally been overcome and the pile of mending is gone! Oh... and my mom has been waiting for me to return her bed spread from that black hole called my mending pile....

Mending!!! I just finished mending the 500 dollar tent that the dogs chewed two holes in. All to lick the essence of powdered baby formula! That and airplane parts are the only times I have visited my machine!!!
