"When you have a great and difficult task, something perhaps almost impossible, if you only work a little at a time, every day a little, suddenly the work will finish itself." - Isak Dinesen
OK, so maybe it was a little more than a little at a time. Two months, approximately 600 hours worth of work, 70 quilts, photos and descriptions, and most of my book is done. It's not due until September 14th.

| there was some effort involved making it look like this |
The last two months have been entertaining, educational and enlightening. I feel energized despite putting in such a marathon effort. There is still work to be done, but not much on my end, and I will pause during the month of July to spend time with Mom, who will be visiting from Maine. Thank you to everyone who helped, you know who you are. :)
I fel your pain. I sure learned photo editing softwear for the "Common Threads" Hunterdon County Quilt Exhibition just ended. 58 images and I cleaned up every one.
ReplyDeleteYou know it. I can't believe how much has happened since we first met, and you were there toward the beginning of this wild journey. There are 70 quilts in my New York Beauty group, some of them related designs, and as many as 500 images which all needed editing. I really have to pinch myself...almost in shock over the whole thing, but happy with how it's coming together!
DeleteBill, your editors must love you! You are way ahead of schedule. Enjoy your July vacation -- you've certainly earned it. I'll look for you in Sisters!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a sweetheart! Thank you!! I will be in Sisters, so I will hope to see you there. <3
DeleteThat is one seriously cool looking quilt. I'd brandish it in the mornings proudly.
