Sometimes it takes a little push

No. 14 on my 14/2014 list....back to quilting.

After some encouragement from a friend to enter in to a show that would be hanging at the Traverse City State Hospital, I made myself sit down at my machine. After all the road blocks last year, it was the last thing I felt like doing. Surprisingly I had forgotten how much I love my machine and creating with it. It felt GOOD.



I would never have done this if my friend, Robin had not stuck on me.She is always wonderfully encouraging... a 'do-er".   I knew I had to get to it. (I don't know about you but it seems I work better when I set a time goal).

Not only did it rejuvenate me..... I also sold 3 quilts at the show !!

I think we all could use to "push" each other when a "push" is need.

    How exciting for you Mary. Too bad we weren't up there to see it hanging there. Congratulations on the sales!

    Have you been quilting these past few months? I unset and about someone giving you a push. I need one all the time.
