Most of my friends and family know that I love to quilt, ask me anytime and I'll tell you what I'm currently working on or what my next project is. Honestly that is a long list, as a quilter there are many UFO's in my sewing room. For those people who aren't quilters or Star Trek fans, a UFO is also knwn as an unfinished project.
I'll be the first to admit, I have many. Ideas come and go, I always have a project for wherever I go,
to stitch or plan or quilt, you know how it goes, if you're a quilter. Okay so when I'm not quilting or stitching, my full time job is being a Caregiver. I love my job, so much so that most days it doesn't really feel like a job at all.
Many times while working I'm asked what my latest quilt is, I'm happy to show and tell. So I was quite surprised recently when one of my consumers needed me more than usual, but she said she hated to bother me, because she knew that I was busy quilting. I'm never to busy to care for you, I love my quilting but Caregiving comes first, the quilt can wait. So for the past few days, the needle and thread have moved slower than usual. That is okay.
My consumer is on the mend, she'll be back to her old self very soon, with all the TLC she is getting, along with lots of bed rest she will be smiling again. The days are long when someone you love is ill,
but its what we do. And I'll keep doing it, the smiles are my reward for a long day.
Smiles are all the rage lately, the quilts I make are very often gifts of appreciation to the ones I love. And two very dear friends have been the receivers lately, they were totally surprised and so overjoyed at being the receiver. My heart smiles too, I love to make people happy. And so tomorrow its back to a big day of stitching and quilting. Bring on the sunshine.
