All the preparations for the exhibition is nearly done, but poster hasn't get printed! Artist statement is onto last revising. The week has gone so fast and I knew that I have a bit of nerve bugs in me. S has been a very kind and sweet listener this week since I might have repeated things over and over to her about the exhibition and supply list.  It feels good to cross out the to-do list, but boy there are still have many needed to cross out before Monday comes...  

The sewing machine hasn't made any sound since Sunday.  I started the quilt label for Julie's signature quilt and just finished it! Lately, I have been photographing a lot more during the early afternoons after we arrived home. The hope is to capture our last spring in ND. The lighting has been perfect these days for the room.  Then I blame on the first photo I took earlier this week with a room full of quilts that cause my curiosity of how many quilts I have made since I started in 2007. 

I started pile all the quilts that have been love and use throughout the years. The pile of quilts has the first quilt I made and the most recent quilt that got completed.  S asked me if she can {hop} on the top of the pile, but all the quilts start falling down...   She stood next to the pile and I was amazed the pile of quilts is almost as tall as S.  S probably has no idea that she will be person who gets to keep all these quilts someday besides her birthday quilts.  There are few more quilts haven't been added to the pile. I have stored them away. Have you ever counted and wondered how many quilts you have made?

We made so many dumplings together last night, they are our next few days' dinners.  These are times that we miss being home and cook together in a slowly paste rather than have dinners on the table. We miss a bit of chat of how the day went in our schools. We miss a bit of good night giggles about seeing Lucky's new photos sent by Aunt Fifi { my sister}.  We miss a bit of Friday movie and dinner.

Today, I made my mind to stay home and work on Julie's signature quilt. Somehow I considered that's my rest and break. I could finally enjoy the speed of the machine and enjoy movie and sewing again. The quilt has been basted and started quilting this morning before I headed to S' school for lunch and her presentation. Now, I am sitting in the kitchen writing this post and waiting the kettle to whistle.  A good cup of tea is needed to ease the tense of the nerve bugs.  

Tomorrow, I have a quilt to show you.. the kettle is whistling now ... oh dear..  let's catch up soon..
