Consider modifying standards

As I tidied up the entry for Fuego, since I put it in the mail today, I looked over the quilt list for the year and was a little disheartened, because I felt like I haven’t accomplished much this year. It’s also entirely possible that I’m an idiot.

It’s the end of October. In 2012, I’ve finished:

Fuego, completed Sea and Sky, finished A debt, repaid Ready for quilting

…and rescued this antique top and finished it out:

Mostly done!

…and helped a friend quilt two quilts for his daughters:

The Red Queen, Obverse Zoë's Quilt, Obverse

I was also away from home for nearly two months.

I also have two quilts (“Cinder and Smoke” and “Hopscotch”) in progress, and hope to finish both before the end of the year.

It’s entirely possible that my standards are a bit ridiculous.

Live life.

You’ve had quite the roller-coaster ride, you way want to consider cutting yourself a break!  Your finishes are all gorgeous and as long as you sew with love you’re right on track.
