August 8th, 2007 * Journal Quilt Number 26 *looking for a nest* The bird and the nest goes along with what is going on in my life right now; we are looking for a new home!

I am certainly not getting one of these journal quilts done every single week this summer . . . but I've still created quite a few and I am going to continue on my journey with them. My original goal was to try to make about 50 of these during the course of the year, so I am just going to keep at it and do what I can and enjoy making them into some sort of wall hanging when I am done.

In the meantime we're getting ready to go by cleaning & packing up/decluttering and we'll start showing the house next week. We have have a lovely home in mind we'd like to buy that's right on a pond for canoeing, swimming & skating. This is tempting Steven . . . . plus there’s a huge loft studio space for me and more room in general. Cosmetic work needs to be done (lots) and we have to sell our house first, so . . . we'll see what happens.

It’s been a while since I’ve created a Journal quilt . . . . I have slowed down my productivity (once a week) but I am still going to create these on as regular a basis as I can! My journal quilts may not appear here as frequently as they were – but you will still see them posted. A 6” x 6” square is such a nice size, not too hard to do, enough space to work on, and yet feels satisfying when you are finished.
