Phew!
Blogtoberfest is over! One month of posting every day, and today is the last day!
It was actually a very useful exercise for me. It helped me to be disciplined about my process and my work - knowing that I had to provide content every day forced me to get into my sewing room nearly every day. And that's never a bad thing!
In fact, it can only be a good thing.
And so, in one month, I produced:
Transracial Adoption
November
My Charley Harper quilt
In the Pink
Two wood quilts (I'll just show one here)
Erosion
Off To Oz
and Winnie.
NINE finished pieces!!! For some people, that's not very much, but for me (who has a full time day job and a family), that's an extraordinary amount of finished work in just 31 days.
I won't promise to produce that much work in a month again (sacrifices were made); but it was good to know that I can, with sufficient motivation. I've also decided that I should be more discplined about spending time in my sewing room - spending at least 1/2 an hour 4 times per week there.
I also gained 13 new friendly people (welcome to you all - I hope you enjoy being here).
So "Blogtoberfest" was nothing but a success for me!
For my regular readers - I'll be getting back to my normal pace now - posting 2 to 3 times per week - but maybe I'll produce a finish more frequently than 2 to 3 times per month from now on. :)
Don't forget about the Giveaway, and Happy Halloween!
