Blog 418
I have been busy over the last two or three weeks, mainly clearing
the decks (and fabrics!). For what reason I am not quite sure yet but I need
(not want but need) to be creative! I coined the expression ‘I feel a quilt
coming on’ when I first started teaching over 30 years ago and that creative
impulse is as strong as ever in me, even after all this time. It’s good for my
fabric and my skill levels to just shove quilts under the sewing machine, but
working like that won’t feed my restless creative beast. So 7 Linus quilt tops
later and with a lot of empty baskets in my fabric store, I feel I have avoided
the design wall for too long. So let’s see what happens … if anything happens …
well it has always happened before … what if it doesn’t happen again? … AAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!!
2 Linus quilt tops
There were many Liberty squares left over from the shaded
quilt top that I made so I decided to use these with a neutral fabric to make the
simplest of patchwork tops.
These quilt tops will now be put out of sight and therefore
out of mind so that I don’t feel pressurised into quilting them imminently.
That said, they will be given to the ‘Sharer of the Grandchildren’ who is the
Linus rep for N Wales and I will chat to her as to when she needs them most.
Looking at my fabric stash now I see lots of empty baskets.
I am not hyper-ventilating about this …. Yet … Because there are masses of
Batiks and Bali’s to keep me happy J
J J!
