creative frustration

I was frustrated last night.
Then I was frustrated this morning.
This little baby quilt.....36"x36".....
saved my sanity.
I kept walking over to the sewing machine
and stitching my frustration out!!

I used some flannel scraps.
See those four yellow blocks in the middle?
That's what I started with.
Then...I added some more blocks....
a couple of borders...
AND...
EVEN some rick rack!!!
Flannel backing.
The binding's even on!!!
Productive frustration!!!

Sewing therapy.
The best kind.

  6. And look at that adorable little quilt......its so bright and cheery.......
    Right now my sewing space is in total turmoil....I've got to get it cleaned up!
    (the problem is no air conditioning in the house
    and its a hot room)

    Nice inspiration Beth :0)
    Happy sewing
