Saying you're not going to begin a new project until you've completed your UFO's is wonderful in theory, but most quilters I know (myself included) find it almost impossible to do. This is my latest cakewalk, an 18" X 18" wall hanging using a technique developed by Terry Kramzar. It isn't actually quilt-as-you-go, though you do quilt each block individually. Terry presented at our guild last year, and while I didn't take her workshop, I admired the blocks as background and went ahead and experimented with how I thought it was done. I learned my mistakes on the fly and will attempt it again as I think it makes a nice background for beading.
The time-honored way of showing love in an Italian family is to offer food. Whether we're celebrating, mourning, happy, sad--if we're breathing, there's a table filled with great things to eat. Life's too short, so eat what you love and love what you eat.
