Tell Me Tuesday: Week 6

Welcome to Tell Me Tuesday.....First off the title is a bit deceiving.....it really is not about you telling me anything.... but answering a question truthfully and maybe telling yourself a little something you had not thought about.

I'd love for you to join me each week, and copy the question onto your blog and answer the question....and link back here. I am sure it will be interesting how there will be many different answers to the same question.....and hopefully give each of us something to think about as this new year progresses. My thought is so many people (including myself) are looking for some answers to various things. I have a feeling that the answers are inside needing to be jiggled loose and maybe a question posed a certain way will have a cause and effect in a good way. We will see how it goes! I have committed to this once a week for the whole year of 2012. I'd love for you to take the challenge with me!

I am keeping the rules simple...I'd love to watch this grow as the year goes on.

1. Grab the button on the sidebar if you like so others can find this new writing experience each week.

2. Once you link in, visit the person who linked in before you and leave them a comment. It would be great to visit and leave comments for as many as you can. But at least try and leave the person ahead of you in the link a comment of support.

3. Please link back to my blog and mention Tell Me Tuesday somewhere in your POST. That is it....easy.

Most of all, look at this writing experience with an open mind. Sometimes the questions will be hard...and require some thought. That is a good thing. Other times it will be easy. You can add photos, or whatever you like to your post. It is about you after all. ~ Thanks for joining me.....I hope you enjoy this each week.


Week Five Question: fill in the blank....

I need to practice_____________more often.


_________________________________________

Fitting for me this came up this week. In a lot of ways. This won't take much writing this week for me.....

I need to practice having patience with people who are thoughtless towards others more often.

But in all honesty....patience has left the building around here and that is just the truth. Plain and simple.

How would you answer that question today?? There is a link below for you to write a post and share!

Lots of Strings

I am linking in today with Judy for her Design Wall Monday. I finished my string quilt I was working on and started the first part of January. I seem to sometimes feel I am just a slow quilter, and always am amazed at how much other quilters get done. Maybe that is my own fault, I love the piecing part of the process but when it is time to put it all together...not so much. I always procrastinate and lose interest at that point very easily. But alas...it is done and off to be quilted.

I like how it turned out and I think I will make another one somewhere down the road. I certainly have the scrap pieces for it.

The back has some of the same browns but in a floral print. I thought the fabric I choose worked well with the front and it is one piece. I usually love to piece the backs, but this on I decided against it. Can not wait to finish this one up and give it to the folks it was made for.

And because my string bins are overflowing..I pulled out all my pink strings and decided to make some string blocks using pink. I am really not so much a pink person but am amazed at the amount of pink I have and thought I'd try to clear some of that out of the bins.

These will trim out at 6 1/2 inches. There are 25 blocks in this stack so far and you'd think that would have used up a lot of strings out of my bin.....

...But these are the strings I STILL have after the 25 blocks above. I am not sure how many blocks I will make, but I see I can make several more and still most likely no use all of these pinks up.....tell me how does this happen?? Around here things seem to multiply instead of clearing out!!

Oh well...have a great sewing day if you are able to get in sewing in today!! It is cold here and I have lots to do, and maybe a little sewing!!
