I haven’t felt this intense about a project in a very, very long time.
Except for the accursed day job, and having time constraints, I am using every moment that I have to work on Candace.
It isn’t actually work…it is play.
I forgot how much fun it is to play.
I was stumped with her hair. I only want to pull from my stash, and I had a difficult time of it. All my browns are too red, or too green, or too orange… too dark, too light.
I finally called my Hubby into the sewing studio to get his opinion, and his opinion was of help.
But what helped the most was having a chat with myself.
I forgot how much taking the creative process too literally spoils the fun.
After my little chat with myself, I got back to playing.
And I really, really want to shop all of the batik fabric sales that I can find!

Hi Laura! I’m almost as obsessed with this project as you are. Okay, not quite but I am avidly following your progress. You are doing a super job!! It is really turning out beautiful – I think you’ll have to submit to a quilt show, personally. ~smile~ Roseanne

Thank you so much! I used to submit to quilt shows but stopped doing that a long time ago. I don’t care to quilt for awards…too much emphasis on perfection and pleasing the quilt police. Or maybe I have become too lazy. It was fun when I used to see ribbons on my quilts. 😊

I’ll definitely give you TWO blue ribbons for this piece. And best of all, you’re enjoying the whole process. {{Hugs}}

That is the key to any hobby, Roseanne…it should be creative, fun and a stress reliever. 🙂

Laura, that is going to be gorgeous! I can understand your obsession. Too bad you have to go to the day job (even though I enjoy seeing you occasionally).

It’s coming along great. You can always use thread (quilting) to lighten or darken the hair as you choose.

That is exactly what I planned on doing! 🙂
