Racing The Clock...

It's 1am and my back aches. My eyes are dry and I'm starting to become very conscious of my contacts. I think I've been sitting at the sewing machine for too long! Empire Quilters, my local quilt guild, is having a show in March ("Urban Inspirations"). Since I've only been quilting for a year, I don't have a body of work. I've given away the few quilts I've made. So, I'm desperately trying to make at least one (and hopefully two) quilts by the deadline for entry (Saturday).

I thought I'd share this photo of my work in progress. I'm currently working on a quilt with the working title: "The Sum Is Greater Than The Parts." It's a collection of tiny art quilts -- each one about me and my life. Alone, each piece doesn't provide much information. Together, they form a much clearer picture. In the picture above, I've cut a photo of myself into three slices (eyes, nose and lips). Hopefully, I'll get it all finished by Saturday! Keep your fingers crossed!
