I've got a month

This is a good block of time to get something constructive done. I am planning on using my time wisely, since it is limited. When the kitchen is a mess, instead of fretting and whining, I tell myself to just give it a ten minute cleanup, and it is amazing what can be accomplished with a short burst of attention. I think this will work for me in the studio too. Not cleaning up, but making new work.
I recorded the process of making Grape Street and need to do more like this, keeping to a limited color scheme and size.
I really liked this quilt the best of the four that I brought with me to California, and was happy that it met with the approval of its eventually collector. Now that it is gone, I am even more intent on making similar pieces. Working in a series like this is my goal.

I will mix hand and machine stitching and try and finish a piece each day. Hey, if my sister Brooke can announce a goal like hers, then surely I must too. She is making larger pieces, one a week, which are just wonderful.
I am imagining a gallery wall hung with just my foot square pieces, one right after the other, in the order they were made. Later if that works, I will do a gallery wall of 18" square pieces.

Grape Street
As long as I am fantasizing, wouldn't it be nice to have a sister's quilt show with both of our works in it? I don't mean to pressure Brooke, but her work is definitely making me want to rise to the occasion.
