It is absolutely therapy to all the senses. I know I'm not I'm not the only one who uses sewing as a fix either. The alternative is what Huckleberry Finn used to say:<br /><br />"I tell ya, I had to sneak up to the attic and cuss for ten minutes just to get the taste back ..." <br /><br />He should have had a Pffaf.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-64880377808204273312016-05-18T08:06:06.886-04:002016-05-18T08:06:06.886-04:00Got it!

I suppose I liked wordless books most because they were more involved, and I had a few moments of quiet. But you bring up a good point: We like the unexpected in them. I think it's fun to add a precious little fussy cut of a cat or something that we can spy in the fabric if we continue to look for it. They draw us in to look for all the others we think might be hidden.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-54120680005584048432016-05-18T07:34:19.389-04:002016-05-18T07:34:19.389-04:00Angie, we need to do one together.

I hate that the paper goes to waste so I've used it for designing longarm patterns, and also rolling around quilts if I roll them on tubes. I prefer to roll a quilt than to fold it so I avoid nasty creases. The paper helps to keep it wrinkle free on the tube, too.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5042289181469558257.post-39596204495388896092016-05-17T17:50:06.995-04:002016-05-17T17:50:06.995-04:00Thank you, Em.

I had to set a timer to let me know when it was okay to go on to something else. I was amazed when I saw I'd spent the entire day just adding a few inches to the whole perimeter.

I also rarely cut a piece of fabric unless it was over 10". Most were just grabbed and matched with another of similar size. I also tried to match up complementary colors, but not always. Sometimes 3 colors worked together where 2 did not. And don't forget to add some darks somewhere to keep it grounded. You must have darks.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02834496271292973632noreply@blogger.com
