Back to Favorite Things on Saturday


I can't believe it’s been over eight months since I last updated this journal. I just don't get enough sewing lately and it's really too bad since my sewing time is directly related to mood. I have been busy with work, grand children and their school activities and running errands around the house. I'm always hoping to have plenty more time to sew when I'm retiring soon, hopefully. Well, hopefully if our retirement age is not yet put into effect to be 60 years of age by May 2014. I look forward to retire at age 55 years old and I would think it'll be great to work myself into a better schedule too by then, hopefully.

Well, I've been working on a couple of wall hangings (mostly UFOs) and currently I'm striving to complete those exchange-friendship blocks for our ladies' group Autumn House wall hanging (see picture).

I managed to make a small wall hanging quilt top for my kitchen door and I can't wait to share here. Then again I will have to find time to complete it, though. My bookcase wall hanging quilt has been left unattended on top of my sewing table and every time I looked at it, my heart just sank. Alas, I must work on that quilt too before starting any new ones. I'm keeping my greed on making new quilt tops on hold for now and better start working in finishing those which are already pieced, batted and to be quilted. Wish me luck and I do hope to come back to posting more here again!! Happy Labor Day (celebrated on every May 1 in Malaysia).
