finally finished

After months of procrastinating, my first (and quite possibly, last) quilt is finished. I'm sure it never would of happened without my wonderful mom who spent an afternoon teaching me to do the binding, and making sure I didn't give up.

It's an imperfect quilt, as I knew it would be. I didn't do any planning, and just randomly stitched random sizes of fabric together.
But I'm very happy with it. And very happy it's finished. And with that, I am crossing #22 Finish my quilt, off my list.

25 so far

I've been enjoying the beautiful summer weather, and not spending as much time in my studio these days. I have crossed a few summery things off of my 25 list.

#6 drink sangria

 

 #13 make a fire

#15 slip n'slide

 

I am working on week 4 Fabulous Faces which I will share on Wednesday. Hope you are having just as much fun in the sun!

25 List

I wanted 25 to be more a way of life. I don't want it to be me scrambling to cross big things off my list in the last couple of months. It's all about the simple things. My mantra for the year is to live with less. Less stuff. Less stress. Simplify. Carve out a more peaceful life.
