Jeannie loves to "pittle" as she puts it.  One of her favorite patterns is the Yo Yo design.  This hobby is relaxing to her.  It is actually called a slow sew project.  Working on a comforter for some 20 years seems slow for sure!   Here is a sneek preview of that slow sew in the making.  Can anyone top how slow this is for 1 king comforter!  Doubt it ??

Nov. 2024  update on project progress -  Well folks time has sped by and I am still working on this crazy project.  I had my 5 sections all ready to connect and I decided to lay them out before I did so.  Being the novice I am, I did NOT consider that the sections would be just a little less long from top to bottom of the bed.  It is just a bit too short and I do not want to be tugging at it trying to make sure that it fits right.  You all know what that means.  I bought another 5 yards of a decent blue match and am now marking and will make another 456 yo yo pieces to sew together and then row together to add inbetween my 5 sections.  I thought that I was done with the cutting and making yo yo pieces folks!!  It will take me some time to get all this done.  My work supervisor of 14 years took ill and shortly passed away March 26, 2024.  Since he was ill from last year before the holidays and then died, I just could not pick up my yo yo project to work on it.  This little project has some rules to go by.  I cannot do this if I am feeling upset or angry or have things on my mind that keep me from "interrupting discouraging thoughts.  Somehow, grieving the loss of my good friend, supervisor, extra father figure, and spiritual hero, caused me to not even place work into my comforter that would remind me of just how sad losing our beloved Dr. Oliver McMahan made everyone here at work and my world.   BUT come January 2025 I will be picking this some 22 year project back up and finish it in his honor as well as honoring the fabric of my life it represents for the last 22 years.

I never really learned to sew and I am left handed at that so doing this "interruption craft" and making each color material represent something in my life means much to me.  There is a story about my little "pittle" thing.  I will have to tell you that story one day.
