~ the October project ~

{the beginning}

For the longest time I've been thinking about making a patchwork quilt.

I started once...years ago....with mum's scraps.  I remember ghastly pastel florals (I'd probably love them now as vintage) and wonky stitches all of which got shoved in a bag and forgotten when I made no progress over what seemed like months.

But now I'm feeling game.

I want to craft, to make, to do.

To pour some love and effort into something tangible.

The girls are already bickering over who it will go to....I've warned them not to hold their breath.  I'm under no delusions that this is a long-term project.

I'm hoping to tough it out this time and get it finished.

I can see I'm going to be obsessed for a little while.

I'm feeling hopeful though...and inspired.

I'll keep you updated.

What's your latest project?
