The Backstory

Sometimes life just doesn’t go as planned and the past week or so has been a stellar example. My schedule has been turned upside down and nothing has gone quite the way I expected or wanted it to. Oh well, that’s life sometimes. I finished a project this morning that has taken much longer than intended. It was supposed to be a 2-day project at the most. But, as I said, life didn’t go the way I had planned and it took more than double that time. Regardless, I am still pleased with the result. I was doubly pleased when I looked at the back. On the front, I was scribbling “pebbles” pretty much blind. Dark blue thread on blue printed cotton is difficult to see. The back isn’t perfectly consistent, but it looks a lot better than I expected it to!

It is pretty, and hopefully your week goes a little smoother.

@SophiaMorros I hope that they stay that way at least until the clocks change and everything is turned upside down for us by an hour.

@Juliaacv I don't even want to think about that.

It’s pretty. Is it a wall hanging?

It's the back side of a small wall hanging. I plan to post the front side sometime today...If life lets me!

@SophiaMorros Now I’m anxious to see the front of it.

Life just happens. You make it what you want it to be.

Sometimes life works like that. Is that going to be a wall decor?

It is the back-side of small wall-hanging.

It looks fine to me. And don’t you hate it when life gets in the way of things???? Tell life to quit getting in the way of your life!

I quite like the way the back looks myself! I keep trying to whip life into line, but so far it's not working!

It looks good to me. Certainly looks like pebbles or cobblestones.

That's exactly what the quilting pattern is called "pebbles"
