Sometimes the horse bolts and you aren't sure if you'll ever ride again. Then one day, you see that horse standing out in the pasture and you say "hey old friend. let's give this another go."
To reclaim my lost mojo, I joined two quilt bees this year. The first is called Stranger Bees - a Second Home for Wayward Sewists. For January, we made Swoon-style blocks using Cotton & Steel prints and basics. John sent along an Essex chambray for the background which was a joy to work with. I'm not sure this is my best pairing, but I'm trying not to beat myself up as I reclaim my creativity one stitch at a time. And I even laughed a little when I put all four corners in backwards in my first assembly. I can still seam rip with the best of them.
It'll be a slower ride this time, but hey old friend.... let's give this another go.
Glad to see you back. Lots of changes all at once made for a new life. Maybe quilting will be comfortable again and put some new things to expand where you are.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to see your blog back in my feed. I went though something similar last year, didn't sew a thing till November. Was kind of strange. I'm back and loving it!
