Restless

 Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night

just waiting for it to be morning so you can go sew?

I'm too much of a chicken to tiptoe downstairs

to the basement and sew at 3am.  

What if all the spiders and boogeymen

are down there partying?  

Will I interrupt?  

Will I look out of place in my underwear?

So I toss and turn in bed until sunlight peaks in the windows.

This purse has kept me feeling restless at night. 

I love making quilts.  

But I forget how satisfying a smaller project can be. 

I started this purse project at Corrie's house.  

Found a pattern.  

It is Sherri's from the APQ August magazine.  

LOVED it!  

Then I found my Prince.  

Prince Charming.  

Can you please tell me what to do with the jelly roll? 

I can't get enough of this line!! 

I love the blues and corals. 

Is it indigo blue?  navy blue?  I'm really not up to speed on my color wheel.

Then I quickly, and I mean, QUICKLY 

cut it out with the Accuquilt.  

Lickity split, I'm in hexagon heaven. 

I've done hexagons by hand for years.  

Corrie twisted my arm convinced me to try sewing them.  

Now, I'm hooked.  

Put in a good audio book and I was good to go.  

The thing I love most about this project 

is that I can use a charm pack and see 

all of the charms together in close proximity.

Now my life would be complete, 

if only Corrie lived in close proximity to me.
