The Midnight Stitcher

My first Bargello project was a table runner that was offered in a day long class.  It seemed small enough to complete during this class.  I didn't need anymore unfinished projects.
My quilting friend and I signed up for the class and began sewing.  It was challenging to get the hang of this technique, but we pushed on through.
After the six hour class was done neither of us had completed our table runner.  I invited my friend to come over to my house to finish our runners and I would make dinner.  We both thought just a couple more hours and we would have our projects completed.  As two in the morning swung around we were almost at the finish line.  My friend tried to stop sewing and go home a. couple times, but felt as determined as me to finish this table runner.  I believe she finally went home around three in the morning with a finished runner.

This Bargello table runner is one of my favorites

This wasn't the only time that I ended up creating until wee hours of the morning.  Since I was a child I would always lose track of time when I was in my creative mode. As I grew into an adult I worked full-time during the day, so sewing was an escape in the evenings where I'd get lost in time.  Regularly I watch the sun start to break through the darkness of night.   After a couple hours of sleep I'm ready to begin a new day, never feeling tired - I just feel fulfilled.
