i've been talking about the quilt i was working on recently. well, this is it. i have another smaller lap quilt also finished. and two other tops ready to start quilting. it's wonderful to feel this burst of motivation and excitement again. every moment i can be sewing that is what i want to be doing. the random layering of fabrics and colors and the energy it creates is quite palatable. i feel like i'm making something special and fresh and perfectly imperfect. the studio is littered with scraps and thread and nothing is tidy since i refuse to take the time to put anything away when it takes time from sewing. it is an inspiring mess, chaos with a golden center. this quilt is listed on my etsy shop and i have plans to list at least the lap quilt tomorrow as well.
the quilts i make blend a grandmother's ideals with a fresh youthful flair. there is a nostalgia for seasons past combined with hopefulness for a bright full future. I write little stories in my mind as I make the quilts. sometimes they become actual stories. and sometimes I share them here.
