Turn, Turn, Turn

Words-adapted from The Bible, book of Ecclesiastes
Music-Pete Seeger


To Everything (Turn, Turn, Turn)
There is a season (Turn, Turn, Turn)
And a time to every purpose, under Heaven

A time to be born, a time to die
A time to plant, a time to reap
A time to kill, a time to heal
A time to laugh, a time to weep

A time to build up,a time to break down
A time to dance, a time to mourn
A time to cast away stones, a time to gather stones together

A time of love, a time of hate
A time of war, a time of peace
A time you may embrace, a time to refrain from embracing

A time to gain, a time to lose
A time to rend, a time to sew
A time for love, a time for hate
A time for peace, I swear it's not too late

Goals

This is in response to Katie's post today about four goals for the end of the year.  Here are a couple of things I want to accomplish. 

1 - finish my "other pinwheel sampler"
2 - take the CLM exam (scheduled for September 30) - done
3 - lose 10 pounds by Christmas
4 - get serious about my running 3 miles goal.  I want to walk every day for at least 1/2 hour.  Maybe if it's not such a chore, I will actually do it.

I'd also like to spend more time sewing - clothes, quilts, other stuff.  I'd like to spend more time reading.  I'd like to spend less time watching TV.  These are just general wants and not really goals ...

Go to the bottom of my blog and vote for Copper Harbor to get a house to house their new ambulance. thanks.

Thursday - finished quilt

The finished baby quilt.  I am really happy with the parts of this quilt but I don't like the way it came together. I like the quilting.  I like the binding - my corners look great. I like the backing.  I didn't get backing that matched the front.  I didn't have enough of the fabric so I had to piece the backing.

You can kind of see the quilting in this picture.

The front turned out great - I think the red binding is okay.  Looking at it now, dark blue binding might have been a better choice.

And the back.  It's okay, just not exactly what I was going for.

It's just a lot of work to not be happy with the way it turned out.  Oh, well, live and learn.
