Beth Ferrier’s Blog

For days now I’ve opened the writing screen for the blog, stared at it blankly, thinking I really need to write something. But what? Life has been blissfully boring, filled with the small details of running a business and a household, daily and mundane.

As Quilt Market approaches, just five short weeks away, preparation for presentations and classes lead the to-do list. Packing and shipping class materials and goodies for the two teaching jobs coming in the next fortnight needs to be handled.

Everything is in a state of almost. The quilt patterns designed to showcase several of Northcott’s new fabric lines are almost ready to be debuted. New workshop projects are almost ready to post on my web page. The new applique book is almost ready to advertise. Summer is almost over.

But not quite. Cover quilts for the patterns need to be made and photographed. Supply lists for the new workshops need to be written before the projects can be posted on the web page. Kit materials for my Quilt Market class are arriving, boxes hunkering in the corner waiting to be divied up, but not quite complete yet.

And summer is not quite over. The days are still warm, the nights blissfully cool for sleeping. The roses are sending up one last round of blooms before retiring for the winter. The apples are almost ready to pick. Exciting things are almost ready to share, but not quite.
