Recently
I was in between projects, but needed a little sewing therapy. I
grabbed a stack of 2” scrap strips and a box of 3 ½” half square
triangles and started making blocks. I made hourglass and strip
blocks at random, then laid them out on my design wall as I finished
each one. I added a border of colorful dots, and quilted with white
thread in a wavy design, stitched ¾” apart. The result is Making
Time, a 32” by 35” mat for table or wall hanging, or maybe for
the cat.
As
I stitched, I thought about how much I enjoyed just sewing. Not
following any pattern or design. Just playing, doing something I
love. I believe it's important to make time for yourself. It is
therapy, whether you're creating art, reading a book, listening to
music, walking, doing yoga or meditation.
Recharge
your batteries! Take a day off to play. Feed your spirit. That's
what I'm doing today.
ALWAYS
FIND TIME
FOR
THE THINGS
THAT
MAKE YOU
FEEL
ALIVE
