Soft and serene sewing

Life handed me a hacker this morning.
DIStressing!!!
(sorry if you received one of the
unwanted emails!)

I needed some
DE-stressing.

I opened a scrap drawer.
Soft.
Serene.
Soothing. COLOR.
JUST what I needed.

This is where little scraps end up
when I'm too lazy to file them
any other way!
;/
They're KIND of by color....


I pulled out some of the LIGHT pieces.

Kind of like a dump and sew quilt.
This one is more of a DIG and sew quilt!


I made blocks.
DE-STRESSING the whole time!

I lined the blocks up into columns.
The columns are ALL different WIDTHS.


I sewed the columns together.
Wasn't SURE how much
DE-STRESSING
I needed!!!

Thought I might need a QUEEN sized DE-stress session.

Turns out....
I only needed a 48"x54"
DE-stress session.

Smaller than a twin.
Bigger than a Baby.

Hmmmm....
All in all I'd say....
Destress sewing DID the trick!

    Sorry about the hacker -- but *some* good came of it: the lovely quilt. Maybe a nursing home lap quilt?

    I figured out right away that it was hacked. Don't you hate that?

    It's beautiful and looks like a low volume quilt.

    I do love the colors in this one! I've been hearing of more and more people being hacked into. Very distressing.

    No doubt about it.. quilting is therapy! As always, I just love the soft colors. It's a soothing quilt just looking at it.
