Indoor Activity for a Cool Day
Though I have the soul of a farmer the cool temps of 60 degrees and very gray clouds are driving me to seek indoor activities. It’s always nice to have a fabric project in the works for days such as these. There are no deadlines for my projects to be finished and that means no pressure. I have no idea where my fabric projects will end up at some point in time. The purpose that they serve is quenching my creative side.
The wall hanging I am currently working on is called “Too Many Men” aka: snowmen.
Wall hanging called ‘Too Many Men’
During the recovery of the shoulder replacement I revisited hand quilting and found it very self satisfying. It didn’t matter how many stitches per inch I accomplished it was relaxing and allowed for quiet time for self reflection: so important for good health. The fabric was printed with the blue sky dotted with white dots to represent snow. I found just the right size of white buttons to replicate the snow flakes. It adds an additional dimension to the project as light reflects off of them. This is just one portion of what will be the completed project and that will be for a later posting.
Today I can tell you that no matter how thick the clouds get or how much additional rain we get I am O.K.
