Hide and Seek

Yesterday I started the quilt for Kathy Hickman but it just wasn't going as I wanted. I had quit working on it to go to a different quilt shop and see if I could find a focus fabric that I liked better - to no avail. But I did find a charm package that I liked and thought might work for a whole different quilt. The question would be how long it would take me to find the book I had seen the pattern in.

Well, today I set about finding the pattern. I love having my quilting magazines as they give me inspiration - but the problem is that I had just been through them all to find a pattern for Kathy's quilt and then put them all away when I had settled on the one that I am NOT doing now. LOL I knew that this was not going to be quick unless some miracle occurred. I remembered seeing that pattern that I am now doing - even remember the side of the page it was on, etc. - 7 hours later I found the pattern - in the LAST darn magazine I looked in! I wonder how often I have done that in my life!

So, at 5:30 p.m. I finally sewed my first block of the day! But hey! I like it. It feels good! And I think it's just what the dr. ordered! Hallelujah!
