Day 5: Still sad about a TV show...

Day 5:  I have strong eyes..20/15...even though I wear glasses.

I have been experimenting, with Picasa and in the quilting studio the last 2 weekends.  Here is the top that I finished today complete with an experimental slide show.  My monthly quilt swap challenge, for January is working with solids and Gee's Bend inspired theme.  This top is what happens when I get carried away with my twin tiny quilt to keep.  I really love this palette, it is not one I usually use and I think that all the colors look really "glowy" to me.  I like when that happens. (as you can see I had a hard time finding a way to photograph it will my husband napped and the kids watched "Wow, Wow, Wubbzy"...gotta love a lazy Saturday.)  I also got my 6am chair quilt all sandwiched and started quilting it.  I decided to wait until it is finished for the grand reveal.  It is a large wall quilt, but it will get finished FASTer than if I make it larger. Right now, I am not willing to shelve another half-finished project.  I am about getting it out there and getting on to the next project...no more lingering indecision, there are too many quilts that I need to make.

I have to say that the death of Claire McLeod (fictional character) has made me so sad.  I feel utterly ridiculous about being this attached to a character, but I think that I identified a lot with her.  Seriously, I have been thinking of things that she could have done different so that the Ute wouldn't have gone in to that gully.  Very sad.

Ahhh, the dark days of winter.
