Mindful

I'll be working on Memorial Day, but I'm also setting some time aside to do some slow stitching with this bundle of vintage and recycled fabrics.

Every summer I make an art quilt that I put together spontaneously, without any clear plan or pattern. I improvise as I go along, and simply let the materials provide the inspiration.

I started the first panel last night by layering and stitching some of the fabrics with pretty threads. The colors are very restful after all the glitz of working on my last crazy quilt project.

Slow stitching gives me a chance to practice my needlework without the pressure of expectations. It's about embracing the imperfections and enjoying the journey rather than trying to make something specific and race toward a finish line (which I need.)
