I am still stitching away on the little quilt, so I apologize if you are getting tired of seeing the same old colours. But I am loving the feel of the layers of fabric coming together, the way the quilting stitches give such a sense of cohesion and flexibility. The cloth moves differently, is more supple, yet resilient. The work is a pleasure.
James asked me this morning how I manage to get through the day without seeming to worry, which surprised me, since I have just as many cares and woes as the next person. I suggested that stitching is what keeps me sane, and I really do think it is a calming, restorative, nurturing and healing activity. But you already know that, don't you?!?
I've often been complimented on my serenity (not by my children by the way, who consider me a worrier) but by others (like my mother).
ReplyDeleteIt's all due to stitching, I do agree.

Why would I be tired of the colours? They're lovely and soothing. Keep on stitching!
ReplyDeleteI saw the picture before reading the text to your post and thought to myself - those are very nice colors!
ReplyDeleteoh yes, just in and out, in and out! your stitches are even and neat, all in perfectly straight lines - mine are big and small and wiggily. wandering thoughts, wondering stitches!
ReplyDeleteIt's just so pretty!
ReplyDeleteyea i know that stitchy feeling...the one that changes the aura around me...sadly my son carries a great dark cloud around with him and i have to claw my way out of that daily...some days are better than others. he will be moving soon, i look forward to stitching for delight not just for sanity...sorry, didn't mean to unload, but some just don't get it do they???
