Well, the Huskers went down in defeat but Husker football is like quilting…it’s the journey and it continues next fall in the Big Ten!!!  I hope you can join us this weekend for Take and Make projects.  Maybe we can solve some of your Christmas dilemmas with a jewelry bag, cowl scarf, or pillowcase.  Nancy is busy.  Finals week is next week at UNL.  She is excited for a break, not to shop or socialize (well maybe a little), but to sew.  What is she sewing…I have no idea.  She says a handbag…and a quilt… and some placemats… and a cuddle blanket…and the list goes on and on.  For Nancy, these three weeks of break will be full of cutting, piecing, ripping, squaring, and hopefully binding.  But you know she is just looking forward to an outlet for her creative energy.  There are really no mandates in sewing…no required dates to turn into projects…no worries of A’s, B’s C’s…  Instead there are as many do over’s as you want, as many deviations from the patterns to make something your own, and infinite number of color, contrast, texture, size of fabrics to explore outside any rules or instructions.  And what Nancy doesn’t get done in these three weeks will be waiting patiently for her whether this winter, spring, summer, or next fall.  When she picks up an unfinished project new ideas will spring up and those creative juices will flow again!!!  That is really what it is all about!!!
