Sew What

When it comes to crafty projects, I am the master of procrastination.
The original quilt

For what has become a few years, since I took a class in making quilts out of t-shirts, I've been promising Mr. Ginley I would create a quilt with all of his favorite sports teams.

A couple of years ago, he dug out the shirts he wanted to use.

Last year, I went looking for the instructions from the class. I found one of the pages.

So...now I am thinking I will try to find a class at one of the local fabric stores (again), and, hopefully, complete his quilt over the summer.

I wish I could be like my friend and co-worker, Stephanie. She is a master crocheter, zipping through projects like a pro. I envy her talent and tenacity.

Alas, I'm a slacker.

My intentions are good, it's just that when I come home at the end of the day, make dinner and set my fanny on the couch, I'm done. And on the weekends, I am like a whirling dervish, dashing to errands here and there.

Maybe today, snowbound here in April, will be a good day to create a plan of attack.

Or maybe it will just be a good day to read. To watch old movies on TV. To wait for the snow to melt.

And imagine the wonderful project Stephanie is creating.
