7. Today: Celebrate Success!
Right now, in this time of chaos, uncertainty and the unknown, it is important that we Celebrate Success! I know that most of us are starting to settle into our “Stay at Home,” “Lockdown” or whatever situation we are in. I know for myself, this is really, really important as we learn to adapt to our new reality!
We need to congratulate ourselves on the goals that we have accomplished … or the individual step or steps to reach the goal. We NEED to appreciate what we have done or accomplished!
SEW … what have YOU been successful with? Do you have a flimsy? A totally spotless sewing room (LIAR!!)? A partly spotless sewing room? A plan for finishing that UFO that’s been begging to get finished?
Each of our successes releases endorphins (the feel-good hormones), but we need to acknowledge the successes for what they are!
Share your success with the rest of us!
Favourite Finish
At the end of each month, Cheryl, from Meadow Mist Designs holds a linky party where everyone post a picture of their favourite finish of the month.
My Favourite Finish for March is my “Circles” quilt! It represents struggles that I previously had with curved piecing. I now feel successful and am starting to look at curves in a whole different way! You can read more about this quilt HERE.
There are no changes in my Excel sheet from the last time I posted. No finishes, nothing new started!
One who sleeps under a quilt is covered by LOVE!
Happy Quilting!
Gail

Well done on the positive movement on your charts! I feel good as I’ve made a start on something that has been on my list to start for a long time (2 years in fact – a quilt for my grandson) but it has meant little work on my PHD projects. It will be so good to get this done though 🙂

Hi Raewyn,
I’m glad that you’re feeling good about your quilt for your grandson! Things that we have planned in our heads can drag us down as much as a zillion UFOs! I look forward to seeing this one finished!
Happy Quilting! 🙂
