This about says it all. A bunch of strips sewn together and just sitting there. Just sitting there.

Phew, this was an exhausting week. Work was hell. The only thing getting me through the week was the promise of a drink with an old friend. We haven't seen each other in over a year and in two short hours reconnected. Beyond work I had some heavy deadlines for Quilt Canada, I donated blood, and had to pull off a picnic for over 30 for The Monster's birthday this weekend. Needless to say, I didn't get a lot of quilting done.

This water quilt is a work about process. That is, I don't have a final design in mind. A general idea of what it might look like, yes, but no final picture. I've been sewing strips together in varying thicknesses and lengths. At some point I'll lay them out and see how they look. It could be complete crap for all I know. So far, however, I do like the combination of fabrics. It is soft at points and bold at others. Serene, but a bit wild. A bit like the ocean and only kind of like me.

Here's hoping that once I recover from the fact that my Monster is three (or rather, that I've been a mother for three years) and get the invitations out for my sister's baby shower and help Hubby build a fence and lay sod, then I can get more quilting done.
