Yes, that’s right where I
fell into the water with my favorite camera.
Yes, I am still using that camera but now after an expensive
repair. I love that glimpse of the Pacific
Ocean from inside the Bahia San Lucas past the El Arco Monumental.
Today I’m planning on
playing with some current photos and quilting more weeds for the bottom
border. Nothing exciting at all…just a
struggle. I was asked why I still
quilted if it was such a fight for me to complete each block. It’s because I passionately love the finished
product.
Even though I cannot add or
subtract beyond the 3rd grade level, I love the fabrics and colors. Sometimes I have to add extra fabric strips
to make each block the same size. People
think the strips are supposed to be there.
I lost my hand-eye coordination in 1989, but if I doggedly stick to
making a block work it gets done. Doggedly means taking something apart and
sewing it back together again, and again…and again…
Buoyed by Bobbie’s
enthusiasms, I’m heading down to make a couple more blocks of weeds. Isn’t each cornfield lined with a few
weeds? Mine are simple stars.
measure more than twice, cut once
ReplyDeleteGlad you are fighting you way through to that quilt. Sometimes we just have to push on through and then smile when we achieve that long sought goal. Getting back to reading the blogs.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to know you had a great trip.
DeleteSuch a gorgeous setting!
ReplyDeleteYou must have a huge sense of accomplishment when you get a quilt done after working so hard to make it! It will have a story of your efforts sewn into it.
I once dropped my camera from a fairly significant height. It was a rugged one, so I didn't have to repair it. But I did have to send my relatively new lens in for repair. At least the glass hadn't been shattered.
ReplyDeleteI love your perseverance. Hope to see some pictures of your quilt some day. Hugs to you Mage.
ReplyDeleteLove that salad!
ReplyDeletePlease dont run. David did and crashed. Now we have a very mashed drainpipe. The metal bent, he did'nt.
ReplyDeleteNice photo. I would love to see Cabo. Avocado and grapefruit salad is terrific. I'm waiting for my avocado harvest to come in.
