A Day of In Between
September 10, 2011
In between. Sometimes I really love in between. In between means that I am done with one thing, and haven't quite yet started work on the next thing so I am in between and happy to be there.
I am about to be in between teaching gigs, in between photography shoots and in between soccer games.
In between two projects last week, I had a few minutes to organize one of the quilt hutches full of soft, fall flavored quilts next door in the office
In between pattern projects, my daughter came up with this recipe below so I put it in our latest Fresh Vintage booklet which I just finished. I guess I am now officially in between Fresh Vintage booklets too. More on that later.
Let's hear it for in between.

Quilt stack is delicious! I need to finish more quilts so I can have a similar one!

Thanks so much for a great workshop at Hollyhill. Are you sure you don't want to show me 78 more times how to iron those Dolly arms? I'll see if I can get you another apple spice cupcake with caramel frosting.
Looking forward to next year.

Enjoy your well deserved in between time. Hope you don't mind me distracting you for a moment with a little story.
I started quilting just over a year ago. My friend Jayne admired a quilt I made, so I gave her a Mill House Inn charm pack to get her started. A group of us got together at Jaynes at the weekend and admired her growing stack of quilts. We now have three more ladies and two of their daughters who are keen to have a go. I think we have a Quilting Bee! Thanks for the inspiration, Joanna xox

Guess I never thought of naming the times I have between things as they seem to be so short.But putting a name to it means it isn't just wasted time. Thank you for that.
Love your soft colors in your fabrics.

I want to let you know your color are so soft and comforting. They make me feel like a young girl again. Your blues remind me of a refreshing drink of water on a cold hot day. Your reds are invigorating and those soft peaches make want to wrap myself up in a comfortable quilt and sneak a mid afternoon nap, Ahhh! such a guilty pleasure.
Do I have a favorite probably all the ones mentioned. Oh except the greens! The greens remind me of spring time. I had know idea colors effected me so strongly till I got into quilting. I always look forward to your next creation.

Hi Joanna, I love the recipe. Ahhh! So cute! I really love your colors and you have hit my emotional color buttons so many times...the reds...just right...the greens..perfect..the blues...yep...the browny/grays...perfect...the creams. the butter the chocolately browns...I think you need some black and whites with those perfect reds and greys. Something like a French chalkboard announcing pastries of the day...lots of love to you and yours! Pam
