The way you've made the triangles in this quilt is downright powerful! I am mostly an improv person and making something that reflects my idea is extremely difficult for me.

It's a perfect example of how ideas, big and small can become things in the real physical world. What a gift to be able to do that. The process gives me serenity and perspective. It is my meditation.

Then I decided to open the box and just do it a couple of months ago. I figured if I don't just make it happen it was never going to happen. And sewing has been so very enjoyable since I started. I have had to rip out a lot of seams and start over. I have even been extremely frustrated at times, but in the end, there is something so wonderful about the finished product and knowing that I made it. And I love to make gifts for others and pour my love into them. They might not always appreciate the gift, but maybe one day it will mean more.<br /><br />determineddebby at gmail dot comDeal.licious Real Food Debbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03269644685344582790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7372342528798706517.post-88456993227150849172015-09-04T00:05:42.129-04:002015-09-04T00:05:42.129-04:00Art Gallery fabrics are beautiful by themselves.

I feel the same way! I know that what I am making (even if I'm following someone's tutorial), I am making something unique with the fabrics I've chosen, the way I want to quilt it, the fussy cutting, the binding...it all empowers me and makes me feel like I have control over this one thing in my life!

I was tring desperately to stay away during nightly feedings with my first son when I started reading blogs and patterns. As soon as he was sleeping through the night I took all that I learned and started sewing my first quilt. I will never forget those nights. Also love how imperfect that first quilt is!
