Today’s Topic:-Quilt Habits Be Prepared!
Hello, Quilters!
Habits can be your best friend or your worst enemy.
I’ve been thinking about my own habits lately. For nearly ten years, I was in the habit of blogging most days of the week. It was a great habit that pushed my skills in quilting, photography and writing. (Frankly, it changed my life!) Unfortunately, for the past year, I fell out of the habit of blogging. I told myself I was too busy–and I was. But all too often, I was busy doing things that didn’t matter and didn’t make me happier or healthier. I was playing Wordle when I could have been doodling. I was watching TV, when I could have been going on nature walks, and I was dusting when I could have been quilting. (Okay–I know some people think dusting is worthwhile…)
In general, I was doing things that I thought were a good use of my time, but I knew they weren’t the BEST use of my time.
So my resolution for 2023 is to be mindful of how I use my time.
Quilting Habits-Be Prepared!
Today, please join me as we start quilting in 2023 by being prepared!
Ask yourself, “If I had 15 minutes to spare, would I be able to quilt?”.
If the answer is “no”…
What can YOU do today to ensure that when you have a few spare minutes you can fill it with quilting?
A few suggestions:
- Create 4-5 small quilt sandwiches for experimentation and play only
- Clean your machine, and install a new needle.
- Review machine set-up for free motion quilting on your machine.
- And whenever inspiration strikes, quilt for 15 minutes. Don’t plan, just see where the needle takes you!
