A Slow Crawl with a Bad Attitude


Here is the next block I'm working on for the Stonefield quilt. I need to cut 14 more circles and 4 leaf forms, appliqué those elements and then embroider stems. Many people follow the instructions for block order when making a Block of the Month Quilt. Those individuals do not find themselves with 14 blocks remaining that all require boat loads of intricate appliqué. Those individuals also don't contemplate substituting easier blocks just to get the quilt done. Nor do they chant to themselves "Process, Not Outcome," "Process, Not Outcome while they wander off to do something else. 

Molly says there are First World problems and then there are problems that are not really problems but just a bit of idiocy leaking out of communication channels.

Sally, you have a real gift for words. I wish you would publish a collection of quilt/cat stories, with all the idiocy leaking out!

Love the cat in this block. I also agree with Molly.
