Back from a Break

 When we last spoke I had half of this top sewn together.  

I was driving myself crazy with pressure to finish the top before we left for spring break.... 

Not long after I blogged I realized I had to drop that goal so I wouldn't be a wreck.  

No one is harder on me then ME.  

I had to let it go.

I just left it.

We had a great trip.

I never once thought about the looming project at home.

We came home.  I did laundry then thought I should probably pick that quilt back up....

But you know I have a really tough time getting started again after being gone.  I've blogged about it lots of times.  It's so frustrating!  This afternoon I FORCED myself to get started.  While my lunch was in the microwave I went and sewed one seam.  It didn't hurt. 

After lunch I sewed the other five seams.  

Once the top was done I took a nap.

Then I pieced the backing.

Now it is ready to go to Rebecca.

I am so relieved.

Now I can start something new!

BTW

My Vintage Picnic plans changed drastically.

I'm pretty excited about it!
