My First Post

Today is the first day of my blogging experience. What a hoot! I am a passionate purple quilter - passionate about purple, and passionate about quilting. I am currently working on a mystery quilt from Bonnie Hunter's Quiltville website. I finished part five this morning about 1:00 a.m. and after this class on blogging, I am on to part 6, block assembly. I also have two baby quilts on the table (along with various other UFOs). It seems that I always want to make more quilts than I have time to finish, or maybe the energy to finish. I work a 40 hour a week job, so my quilting time is limited to evenings and weekends. Sometimes in the evenings I am too tired after working to sew, but I keep telling myself that if I just went into my sewing room and worked for even 15 minutes, I could accomplish wonders. Weekends are taken up with everyday chores that I do not get done during the week. I do try to take at least one day to sew, usually on Sundays. I am enrolled in a weekly quilt class at our local adult school. With the projects the teacher has for us to sew, and my own projects, I could be busy sewing 20 hours a day, which only leaves 4 hours for other stuff (like working, sleeping, etc.). So I have much more that I want to do than I have time to accomplish.
