The quilt is finished and turned over to the Boys & Girls Club for the auction. The boss lady happened to be there when I turned it in and she loved the front. Then she flipped it over and exclaimed, unfiltered, "Ooh, I don't like the background fabric. Not my style." and flipped it back to the front. I laughed and told her no worries, just don't bid on it! I was pleased with myself for blowing off a negative comment and was completely unaffected by it. That's a huge step for me! What the heck, it wasn't my design, so I just didn't take it personally. The workmanship was FAB if I do say so myself ;-)
Now the rocking chair is all I have to finish. It's actually coming along and I think I'll be finished within an hour.
What am I going to do with myself with the projects complete? Time to return to the art journal. Next!
