Time

I wish I had more time...between taking my daughter to her activities, taking care of my hubby, taking care of my sick mom and trying to maintain a semi-clean and organized home life, I am swamped.  I just spent 2 hours cleaning my house and had to take a break.  I wish I just spent two hours quilting.  I'm getting pretty good with my Flynn Quilting Frame.  I am getting faster and more accurate.  I am learning exactly when to roll and how far. I have even gotten to the point I can roll is just minutes! I am learning exactly how little movement it takes to create pretty pictures.  I finished quilting the Fall quilt and am working on the frame-free-motion center panel.  I'm glad I started learning on a quilt I don't really care about because I am making lots of mistakes and it is nice to not feel like I have to unpick the flaws.  I just got started on a Neapolitan Quilt I made 2 years ago that I tied.  The ties were coming undone and it is one of my everyday-use quilts so I decided to try it next.  I am using a Leaf and Swirl edge to edge design.  I like doing this a whole lot better than Meander design, but I am having some issues keeping the size of the leaves consistent across the length of the quilt.  The leaves tend to be smaller towards the outside edges and larger in the middle.  I'll get it...eventually.  See, now I have even less time....I just spent 20 minutes writing this and trying to get a pic to upload from my e-mail.  Aaaaahhhhh,  better go cook dinner, we are having Beef Enchiladas tonight.
