No Guilt:: Go Quilt... And Create!

I needed a little bit of free-form creation time - no real deadlines, no parameters or themes to hold to, no following a pattern...  and I finally got it. I didn't create anything spectacular.  Just a few mini-minis that I will send to a few friends that could use some encouragement.

And thanks to another No Guilt::Go Quilt freezer meal I had the freedom from one more thing to draw my attention away from my studio time.

We enjoyed this Green Chili Chicken and Lime Soup (minus 8 ozs. of mushrooms)

As I entered my studio I had several ideas...  I wanted to do a tiny-quilt.  One of my 5x7 hand-sewn hellos based on this picture.

As I pulled out my scrap bin I found the perfect fabric for the night sky and mountains...  The glittery fabric makes up the stars and the hand-dyed fabric provided the mountains.  You can bet that I did a little happy dance!

All I needed were a few trees, a lake and a moon. I was able to get the layout done, along with getting them stitched down while Dave ran a quick errand in town to pick up some supplies for our recent kitchen project...  

And when he had to run back to the hardware store because of a change in plans, I was able to get stitch in the wording.

God made the ocean and the mountains,

the moon and the stars;

and you!

I don't know about you, but some days I need this reminder!

Thankfully, the kitchen project is nearly done and I have had ample opportunity to get back into my studio and get caught up!  

Thanks to my freezer meals I was still able to sneak away... even if it was only for 10-15 minutes at a time!

When life gets a little crazy for you and you only have 10 minutes to sew or quilt, what sort of project do you work on?

Leave a comment.  I love to communicate with my readers. :)

Quilt Happy,
