2019

It's already February and I've just done my 2018 recap! The year is running away already.
Time may change me. But I can't trace time.

2018

2018 is a year that I am pleased to see the end of. As Lizzie would say, “annus horribilis.”
Not that there weren’t any good times. Let’s remember them.

100 years since the end of World War 1.
Two great uncles killed in the war.

Finished!
On reflection, I realise it is 3 years since I last finished a quilt - Iggy's second birthday quilt. To say I'm not very productive is an understatement. No wonder there are so many things I forget. Eventually, it comes back to me but it can take a while - like how to adjust bobbin tension when machine quilting this quilt. There's another one to go and finish now - hopefully a bit faster this time.

The next New Zealand Quilt Symposium is in Auckland in 2019.

I have never attended an Auckland symposium as Auckland is 'just up the road' and the traffic is horrific. Usually, I use symposia as an excuse to visit other parts of the country.
But as I now have a daughter living in Auckland therefore free accommodation, I have enrolled for this one and am excited by the quilt exhibition categories.

I feel a quilt coming on. It's been an extremely long time since I even considered entering a quilt show! No pressure.
