I mentioned to another quilt maker the other day that I was prone to depression. In retrospect, that's not really true. You see, when the blues start touching my spirit, then we head over to the scrap bins and within minutes the oppressive and depressive feelings are gone.
In there stead were diamonds - about 60 foundation paper pieced from scraps and strings completed over the past several days. Oh, yes, I have a plan for every one.
And, if that's not enough to cure the blues, the scrap bins were further downsized with these pouches now ready to donate to Bayou Creations booth, NELA Quilt Show, 2018.
I LOVE those bags.yeah, yeah...diamonds too. But I LOVE those bags!
ReplyDeleteAnd they are so easy to make. Was a fun afternoon sorting scraps and stitching.
DeleteDownsizing the scrap bin, diamonds, and those bags! What's not to be happy about? I'm with you on the sew away the blues idea! I still take my meds, of course, but sewing is a tastier way of handling the blues. (Maybe therapy should include a sewing machine :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're in a happier state of mind and love the bags. Remind me when it's time for the show...I'll come up and spend money!
