Getting Organised…And in SLOW Order

I’m now at the stage of having more unfinished than finished quilts to document and it’s playing havoc with my plan to list them by the year I started them…and then post in that same order.  My plan has reached the term of its natural life and I’m starting to worry about OCD tendencies…  You know, running to my garden shed late at night to finish a quilt so that it features in serial order, by blog post.  Sad indeed!  Yep.

So, after much thought, chaos theory (order in chaos?) reigns.  I will now post as I finish.  And perhaps along the way  - as I’m sooooo very slow these days – I’ll post a few progress notes, a la “slow quilting movement”.  Perhaps I can sleep at night.

Slow sewing is part of the Slow Movement (we subscribe to slow boating, especially when the wind isn't blowing) but it does make you stop and think about the pace of life and need to dumb everything down to achieve more in your day...

Mark Lipinski's Slow Stitching Movement; Sew Slowly's Manifesto on her Blog; Knotted Cotton invites us to be a slow blogger & this discussion on the Modern Quilt Movement by Leni Wiener.  All most interesting food for thought...chew slowly, mind!
