Slow and Steady...

I am still in the working stage of life (and truth be told, probably will work until I graduate to heaven.)  My job requires that I travel A LOT.  I just returned from Vancouver, B.C. yesterday and am leaving for Fresno, CA today.

So, how does a body continue to move forward with their UFOs while on the road?

For me, it depends on how much time I'll be in a particular city.  For example, sometimes when
I travel to Vancouver, B.C. I will be there a as long as two weeks.

In those instances, I take Miss Ellie with me and set up shop in the hotel room:

It is always a bit amusing to hear the comments from the TSA agents..." Is THAT a sewing machine?!"  Why, yes.  Yes it is.

Other times I'll take some sort of handwork.  This past week (and this next week) I'm working my way through a pile of scraps; trimming them into useful sizes.  I don't have any particular project in mind.

Sizes will start at 5" and graduate down by .5" to 2".  I also cut strips to use in Bonnie Hunter's scrap patterns.











My grandson made his quilt with 5" squares I'd already cut from scraps.

The secret to moving forward is.... slow and steady wins the race.

Happy Sewing.
