Some of you may remember when I worked on this piece originally - back in July - I had gotten both bored and frustrated with how it was going, but after taking an extended break, I pulled it out this past week to have a go at it again. 

I think one of my very first posts on my blog was about my very first quilt, which I called "The Green One" not having been able to come up with a more clever name.  That quilt was made out of all the scraps of all the light green fabrics I had saved over the course of 30 years of sewing, all with the idea that I would "make a quilt someday"

In addition to being a long weekend, labour day weekend most often falls on my birthday.  This year, I spent a lot of time in my sewing room, but for the most part, not sewing:



 I was re-organizing my sewing room and stash, building furniture from Ikea for my sewing room (those dressers will be red soon, as will the dining table [six feet long!] I bought at a yard sale about a month ago), but I did find time for some sewing - namely those sewing machine covers at the back of my sewing room. 

My quilt, "Of The Moment" is being featured over at Generation Q Magazine for their Saturday Feature. Are you familiar with them?  Generation Q Magazine is the brain child of Jake Finch, Melissa Thompson Maher, Megan Dougherty and Scott Hansen.  They're this great blogzine (also resource/community) for modern and contemporary quilters - if you don't know about them you should totally check them out. :) They have great articles of all kinds and fun giveaways too!



So, for those of you who haven't already seen this, welcome to my blog! I'm delighted to have you here.  :)

When I conceived of this quilt, I remember thinking "I want to make a contemporary quilt - you know, something that's of the moment".  And as I put these silks together in this particular configuration, I wondered whether this quilt was not only of the moment, but whether its design would stand the test of time.
