It's not a race, but.....



My word for the January challenge

 is more of a theme for my activities outside my quilting life,

although it could be applied to quilt making as well.

This is the year I'm going to tackle a large writing project,

a mid-life master's thesis

so I thought my word should reflect that.

I want to complete that thesis in 2012,

so my word reflects that goal:

a finish line.

Here it is, hanging like the banner at the finish line of a race,

in front of the window behind my sewing table.

The Amish quilts on top of the window

are calendar pages mounted on foam core.
