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.

in october the air is aglow. there is a pink sparkle in the light, angled so it dances lower and appears to leave little fires wherever it touches. it seems that even without the raging colour in the trees, the glow would still bounce around october and make me gasp.

since christmas i've been doing alot of paper stuff. the kind of work that i can lose myself in for days and days with piles of yellowed pages fluttering all around me. but last week i made a few quilts. and realized how it balances me to make a few quilts a week. i have a bright one listed on etsy. and a neutral one as well. quilts make me happy.
