Greenery
is the popular color this year, but green has always been a favorite
of mine. It reminds me of peaceful nature and the great outdoors.
Calming
and refreshing shades of celadon, olive, pine, and moss are prevalent
in this new wall hanging. I used 5” squares with 2½”
x 5” rectangles, alternating green prints and batiks with light tan
solids, set in a grid pattern. I finished it off by quilting with variegated thread in a triple serpentine stitch.
I
worked on this during a cold spell, thinking of spring days to come.
Now in the middle of January the high will reach 70°
today. I need to finish another quilt, but I think I'll open a
window, then go outside for a walk.

Those
who find beauty
in
all of nature
will
find themselves
at
one with life itself.
