Week in Review 2023 – 06/02

Finishing Up

In the Beginning shortly after starting the quilting.

It’s time to finish up. I’ve been juggling several art projects and one personal project in 2023. I’m ready to finish. I feel like that restless kid in the back seat asking, “Are we there yet?” What constitutes a finish? The truth is there will always be more to do until we are not able to do more. Now that is a finish. I’m pleased to say I have three finishes this week:

  • My second cataract surgery is over and appears to be a great success. Hurrah! I can actually read and sew without glasses. Haven’t been able to do that for decades.
  • All the quilting is complete on “In the Beginning”. I’m ready to move on to the finishing touches (facing, hanging sleeve, label and… some hot-fix crystals).
  • My bright blue flowers are finished for the Rainbow Scrap Challenge.

I love combining the flower groupings together. Now it feels more like a garden.

It’s June and that means it is time to work on a new color, bright blue in the Rainbow Scrap Challenge. Bam! That’s a wrap. Not only did I finish my blue flowers, I added them to their neighboring pink flowers.

Now I will focus on finishing “In the Beginning” since I plan on submitting it to a call for entry due by July 31st. Plenty of time, right?

I’m linking up to the following posts:
