I joined the #100DayProject, a challenge to get artists out of a rut and into a daily habit of creating, on February 22. And what a mistake it was!
1) It turns out, I already have the habit of creating (or at least stitching or beading) every day, and if I don't on a particular day it's because I'm dead tired, both physically and emotionally.
2) I'm not creatively blocked; in fact, I have a notebook of ideas and little time to explore them.
3) Although the Project doesn't require it, I picked one thing to work on -- my Hawai'ian quilt (huh, apparently I never showed off the completed center), specifically the crazy-quilted borders. But working on the same thing for one hundred days straight was tedious; so tedious that around day 80, I switched to a fun Sue Spargo stitch-along.
4) The obligation to post on Instagram every day was exhausting. I'm clearly not cut out to be an influencer.
That said, I really did enjoy seeing other people's art, and I made a lot of progress on my own project, finishing two sides and most of a third:
A few of my favorite seams:
(I'll save the Sue Spargo project for the next post.)
Next year, I'll just be a spectator.
I can't participate in the project you participated in. Every day is impossible.
ReplyDeleteYou are awesome for joining.
I never worked on crazy quilt but i love it.
Even better because you added beads. The method of adding beads is effective and very nice.😆
Looking forward to the completion.
Take care of your body and mind. Have a good day.🙋

I stitch every day so it's not really a challenge for me either! But some days it is quite late in the evening and I don't want to blog every day either.
ReplyDeleteLove the colours in your quilting, they really are cheerful!
