But instead of quilting, today I whipped up a couple of quick gourmet-from-scratch recipes and had some friends around to lunch. It went well, although the lead up included finding I’d bought strawberry flavoured yoghurt instead of plain for the dressing for the cucumber. Leftovers ensure dinner tonight is no problem, so I will do some more quilting later. There is still rain around – a wet saturday might see the whole thing finished…. but the Tree of Life thing hasn’t gone away after all, and I have to fit that in, and present it ready for hanging on the morning of monday 16th, ie barely 10 days away – and right now I’m wondering whether to ditch what I have done and re-do the surface design before quilting, or plough on, but not happily – there is about a 30 – 48 hour window of time in which to make this decision. Gut feeling tells me it would be a better thing to do a new surface design … and I will publish either one or two pics when done, I promise! One thing successful procrastinators like myself need to be able to do is pull a rabbit out of the hat at the last minute.
