It's been a busy week, I haven't posted or even checked out your blogs on my regular daily route, sorry about that. I have been putting Sundance through her paces. I remember, when I went out to IA for longarm instruction last Fall, Dawn Cavanaugh's advice was to put in an hour a day to see any measurable, consistent, improvement. She cautioned against five hours one day and then skipping four days altogether. I am guilty of the latter. Then, when I find time to quilt, I want it to be PERFECT; I end up becoming frustrated and spend lots of time ripping out and starting over. This last week was the week, the week of putting in the required "hour a day", no more excuses. I'll post some photos later on this week
of what I'm working on. I keep a tool box close at hand with all the necessities that Sundance and I need for a happy quilting session; bobbins, oil, compressed air, needles, straight-edge, thread clippers, etc. I saw this tool chest in Lowe's on Friday evening. Can you imagine how organized one could be with this monster standing nearby? It's equipped with an MP3 player hook up, (there are booming speakers up under that "hood"!), amazing lighting and a built in refrigerator (chilled Chardonnay, anyone?)! It's wired with external electrical outlets (think "iron"!) from the side and each full extension drawer is lined with cushioned foam to protect one's tools, it even has a concealed garment hook on the outside! Now THAT's a tool chest, what more could any self-respecting quilter possibly wish for?!Life is Good!
