I left resolutions behind many years ago. I never kept them and it seems self defeating to beat myself up over it. Now I just go day by day and do the best I can. I can't even settle on a word for the year ahead as some people do. I suppose two words would be okay - "Keep Going". The last three years have aged me and I have some physical problems. But I try to keep walking, keep getting out, keep working at something. I haven't been all that successful, but I keep moving ahead. It is the best I can do right now.
I had hoped to go to the Madeline Island workshops in Tucson again, but still not well enough to do it this year, maybe next. I went in January 2018 for a 5-day Sue Benner landscape class. It is a beautiful desert setting and the weather was perfect. Of course I took a lot of pictures And Sue had us interpret a photo we had taken there to create a small quilt top.
The picture I took is on the left with some additions at the top where the picture was cut off. It is always a challenge to find good fabrics among the boxes we take along to the class. Sometimes one must compromise. I think the sky fabric is too strong, but that is what I had with me. This remains in the "might complete it some day" pile, which is very, very tall!
