| Diagonal Diamonds |
Since
it was cold and snowy last week, I took refuge in the sewing room to
play. I didn't want to spend a lot of time designing, so I dipped
into my boxes of cut scraps and started stitching. What fun it was
to let the designs come without a particular result in mind.
The
first little quilt, Diagonal Diamonds, started with 2
1/2” strips, cut into sixty degree diamonds. The bright colors are
bordered by snowy white. I'll find another colorful print for the
back and binding.

This
table mat was super quick to make. I used 3 1/2” strips and only
three colors in muted green and gold. Morning Meditation
will look pretty on my dining room table.
Crayon
Box is another colorful mix made up of 2 1/2” strips and 5
1/2” squares. The sewing went fairly quickly but it took longer to
lay out the blocks and balance the colors.

After
all that creative crafting, I was inspired to put everything away and
clean up the sewing room. I sorted magazines and clipped articles to
keep in my idea notebook. There are still plenty of scraps left for
another week or two of wild and crazy sewing. I thoroughly enjoyed
my snow days/sewing retreat. And, by the way, I did get a bowl or
two of snow cream!
Creativity
is messy,
and
I am very creative!
Sewing
is cheaper than therapy!
