the earliest morning. crickets and frogs. my head is twirling with ideas. but it's too early to do anything about it. so i come downstairs to sprawl on the couch, hoping a new environment will quiet my mind and let me sleep. stella finds the curve in my leg where she fits perfectly. and i contemplate the timeless yet contemporary nature of what i do. the satisfaction of little scraps of cloth coming together in purest form and function. i can identify a little characteristic or story about each of the fabrics, whether it's something i made with it or why i'm drawn to it to begin with. each of the little off kilter pieces is part of me. i love what i do.
i had better add that the studio is open today from noon to 7.30ish. quilts and journals and housewares all for sale. they're great for babies, weddings, christmas, and just because. 55 mowat ave, in portsmouth village. i'd love to see you.
What a beautiful quilt. It is my ambition to make a quilt full of memory and beauty. Something that will lay on my bed and warm my body & my heart.x
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful!! I love scrap quilts. I've been saving my childrens' clothing to make each of them their own scrap quilt. Hopefully soon I'll have enough. :)
