. . . slightly breezy . . .

. . . after i finished

my conference ironing

on saturday . . .

. . . i treated myself

to a little sewing time . . .

. . . and finished putting together

my urban cowgirl on a whim

quilt top . . .

. . . but as luck would have it . . .

. . . there are gale force winds

here in mesa today . . .

. . . such that

when i tried to get a photo

of the entire top,

it was as if it was a sail on a boat

or something . . .

. . . no amount of blue painters tape,

clothespins,

or bad words

could get it to hold still

and behave for a photo shoot . . .

. . . so the next best thing

was to drape it

over our scallop topped pool fence,

which definitely

isn't it's most flattering pose . . .

. . . maybe there'll be smoother sailing

after it's quilted and bound . . .

. . . and i have a feeling

that's gonna take a while . . .

. . . my quilter is very popular . . .
