I am so happy that I was able to be a part of it! (although, I have yet to hear from you what the postage total was... tisk, tisk.)<br />I am also loving the Bull's eye quilt!

I know what you mean about the whole lostness feeling - I think we all get it and then have to push ourselves into motivation mode again and when I cannot do it myself - God comes in and gives me a big ole push! When my girls were teenagers and they were going through a rough time - I always told them to enjoy the moment because there is something we must learn from it. <br /><br />Pam, you did an awesome thing with God's help and we are proud to be your friends!

It seems to go faster during the basting process ... and I'm always anxious to get to quilting ... I confess that I sometimes am tempted to just skip the pasting and get straight to the quilting! ;-) I always use a table (or two pushed together) to baste ... in the past I'd have to go to our church to use a couple of their folding tables, but we found a good deal on lightweight folding tables so we bought two so I can set them up and baste at home.

Maybe it's because we put so much of ourselves into the project...don't know why I get that almost grieving feeling. When I used to finish big uni assignments I had a feeling of euphoria and relief, so I wonder what is different. :-)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12594244181463706442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392650923012977905.post-27319233204815266382013-04-11T22:22:36.152-07:002013-04-11T22:22:36.152-07:00Lostness would be a perfectly good word like 7 deg...Lostness would be a perfectly good word like 7 degrees of lostness. I feel it too right after finishing something big and before knowing what to do next. The bigger the project, the higher degree of lostness. Empty nest syndrome is 7 or maybe 10.<br />Well done on getting that label on and shipping the Quilt, I imagine it must have been both sad and good at the same time.Nina Lise@Mrs Moenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04943912994076653225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6392650923012977905.post-37970246409453172052013-04-11T20:55:29.166-07:002013-04-11T20:55:29.166-07:00Well, those were two major projects.. one rather q...Well, those were two major projects.. one rather quick (the water) and one that was long-term and had emotional attachments... so lostness is normal, after they end. Glad you have the aliveness of spring to rejuvenate you. working on a couple more strips. I'm just not a beautiful knitter. Hope you can use my "just average" Plain Jane strips.Carol E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02741550863747328734noreply@blogger.com
