Goldie's Bowl - I Like to Write

Here's what I know about me... I enjoy journaling. I am a long-winded writer. As of today, I am still knitting, not quilting. I have a Bernina 830 sewing/embroidery machine...big, powerful, does all things. Today (10/26/09) mine's out of order and I have to take it in for fixing. Otherwise I would get back to sewing/quilting/embroidery projects. Big sigh! Unfinished Christmas projects are piling up.

Goldie's Bowl - Quilting vs. Knitting

These past weeks, I have dedicated most of my time to knitting and crocheting rather than quilting. Knitting is one of my favorite things to do. But then...I say the very same thing about quilting when I am working on my quilts. I sometimes think about those quilt projects of mine that are not getting done while I'm busy knitting and crocheting and I wonder how other crafters do it. While the weather continue to be very warm during the day here in Southern California, the nights have cooled and the weather is turning. I welcome the cool autumn evenings and early mornings. I have begun knitting this year's Christmas gifts for friends and family.

WHILE AT THE FABRIC STORE..."You're a quilter?" I nodded. "Leisure World. We meet on Thursdays, 2 to 4 p.m., in the big rec room. I've rounded up a bunch of us." Giving me a once over and nodding her head thoughtfully, she stated emphatically, "You should come." I smiled. "Thanks, ummm...I'll think about it." The little lady shrugged and wandered off in search of batiks, leaving me alone with the calicos. Join a quilting group? Mmmm...maybe not yet.
