stitch doodling

I went to visit my sweet Mother-in-law yesterday.

I always have a nice time visiting...

but I do like to sew a little something while I'm talking.

I'm so glad I had this old velvet skirt.

(purchased..you know where...the thrift store!)

I'd been dreaming about turning it into a pillow someday

and had already cut a nice 15" square out of it.

I picked it up as I ran out the door

And when I got to my MIL's

I began to doodle.

Sewing and talking...

Sewing and talking....

Very nice.

This little project requires so little.

fabric. needle. thread.

It was kind of fun too!

See those little french knots?

When I sat down to visit yesterday I noticed

the fabric had some faint bleached spots!!

Oh NO!!!!

So necessity became the mother of invention!

I began covering them up with knots!!!

The fabric told me what to do!

And...

I like it!!

Now the question is...

Should I keep going with more doodling?

OR

Leave it AS IS???

Hmmmm.......

I also did some doodling last night.....

Getting ready to quilt another quilt.

Thought I'd goof around for a few minutes and

dream about possibilities!!

Dreaming

and

Doodling.

What a great pair!!!
