It’s been a little stressful at my house lately and I needed something to keep my mind occupied. Naturally I went to my sewing room (forget about all the cleaning and de-cluttering that needs to be done). I had several projects in the works (don’t we all) and some new patterns to start (they were calling my name), but I needed to create. So I went to my scrap bag and pulled out a pile of greens and then started adding some other colors and began "making fabric." I find this so relaxing and rewarding and mind consuming. I really didn’t know what I would do when I started, but I ended up making a small quilt for the Quilts on Wheels group at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.
This is a close up of the quilt. I’m happy with how it turned out. I just hope it is big enough. It sure was fun to spend the afternoon creating. I love making something from my scraps. Don’t you?
Speaking of scraps, Blue Bird Sews has the cutest scrappy potholder tutorial. Check it out!

It is stunning. I love it. Apparently this is very good therapy, a happy place as opposed to cleaning and decluttering.
That's darling! I haven't tried making fabric yet, but I'm itching to try. What is Quilts on Wheels??
Caroll, that is so cute. I am in awe of you! I love that you can just sit down and make something like that. Wow. I'm with Allie...what's quilts on wheels?
Sorry life is so stressful. I know just how you feel in that you NEED to declutter the mind with some sewing. Glad you got to relax a little. Hope to see you soon!
Very cute! I also like to make fabric when I just need to sew. Lately I have also been just cutting fabric to de-stress.
It turned out so cute! Hope things de-stress for your soon.
I like what you did. You are right, when you need to de-stress, sewing is a good thing to do.
