Savour the moment!

we should take our time more often than not

enjoy

savour

breathe in/breathe out

Quilt in a Day Irish Chain

(linen and westminster fibers bundle available on the beyond the reef shop site)

someone asked me the other day, 

"do you have the time to do this?!??"

and I thought to myself, 

"if I don't have time for my own life....well...."

I'm not suggesting we shirk our responsibilities

but.

while making a new quilt for a new pattern, (not the one shown above)

I realized 

it is so much nicer to sit peacefully and sew little pieces together

than to "fast quick easy strip piece cut apart and all the rest"

those little pieces

(there's a time and a place for that, too, don't get me wrong, now)

just for today, just now, just this one moment

sit with your fabrics

choose each color carefully

enjoy the true genius of your sewing machine's capabilities

we are all running through our daily lives

let's at least savour the moments that we have while we are quilting

cmmon....

when was the last time you hand quilted anything?!?

you know, 'rocked the needle'???

set aside just one project....just one....for some hand quilting

so I made a decision

this new pattern is not going to have fast pieced quick strips slam it together

instructions

my apologies in advance

let's just hope you like it, regardless

HappiestDays.
