Quilt or travel question
Hi!
It's been a while since I've posted, although I do read the posts on most days. Currently I am in a bit of a situation. I have a week of vacation time coming up. The question arose about what to do. (I work in the travel industry now since the Best Quilt Shop in Boston closed down a few years ago.) A friend wants to go to the Yucatan, in Mexico. I was planning on staying home and quilting. I have 5 UFOs waiting to be completed, as well as a new bright colored quilt with the new Laurel Burch cat fabrics cut and ready for stitching. The trip is free, benefit from work. Quilts are waiting. Am I crazy for wanting to stay home and quilt, play with the new QI, and just relax, or go away? Votes, please? (I want to stay home and quilt.) Thanks, Dave http://www.quilthorizon.com |

I may be in the minority, but go to Mexico!!!!! It is amazing how broadened
you are by traveling....and how humbled too that there is a WHOLE world out there beyond our small piece of it. Plus think of the fabric in Mexico that could be had!! Bring some hand work or even a small portable SM and some work...get the best of both worlds!

I think your crazy, go on the trip. You might not be working there the
rest of your life, so travel while you can. There is still lots of time to quilt. I have seen a lot of people wait for retirement to travel and then their health is not so good so they don't travel. So do it while you can and enjoy. Your quilts will be safe and you will find time later to quilt. Joanna Dave Daniels wrote: Hi!

Gosh Dave, thats a hard one - but can't you do both? Can any of your
UFO's go travelling with you, for you to work on by hand? If so, then I'd grab the chance of the holiday - Mexico sounds wonderful and you are so much closer to it than I am - so take a camera and loads of film/digital cards with you so we can share your experiences! When you get back, the UFO's will whizz through, 'cos you'll be refreshed and revitalised from the trip!

(I want to stay home and quilt.) Thanks, Dave http://www.quilthorizon.com Hi Dave! Long time no see! As far as your vacation is concerned, I vote that you do what you want to do. What good is a vacation if you're not doing something you love? Even if you should leave the travel agency sometime in the future, Mexico is a fairly easy, inexpensive place to travel; you'd be able to get there and get whatever inspiration you wanted from your trip. Going when you don't want to go is almost guaranteed to leave you regretting that you didn't do what you wanted to do. When my DH goes to visit his mom out of town, I use the time to have a "mini-vacation" at home. I sleep and eat whenever I want and quilt up a storm! Love it! I also love to travel, but those UFOs calling to you will spoil a trip. G Let us know when the UFOs are finished and we can see photos! Your work is still just gorgeous! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas my ISP is earthlink.net -- put sfoster1(at) in front http://home.earthlink.net/~sfoster1 AKA Dame Sandy, Minister of Education |
