I also sew small softie items for grandnieces, which are dragged around and well used.<br />Freespirit and associated lines like Rowan, have my favorite designers.

I spend a lot of time looking around and planning and dreaming about a new quilt before I actually start it. When fabrics and designs start coming together, it's like a butterfly out of a cocoon for me, watching my creativity grow. Quilting is a quiet piece of my afternoons or evenings, once I put my energetic little boys to bed at night. It's "me" time and quiet time, music and books on CD as I explore and enjoy my fabrics and skills.Rachellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10124087896605983602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267435638113418929.post-62160900339457380292012-04-30T11:20:24.501-04:002012-04-30T11:20:24.501-04:00Sewing is one of my creative outlets because I lov...Sewing is one of my creative outlets because I love the colors and feel of all of the fabrics.

I love that I can take small pieces of fabric and create something beautiful and usable and then give it to someone to enjoy.

It litterally saved my life. <br />I found hope, friendship and most of all I found passion. Passion generates endorfines and make you happy. Very simple, very important:-)<br />I live with several chronic diseases - and I live extremely well with them:-) I sew for my self first of all, it is my medicine - I can't sew for hours but it is a great release to enter this creating world where time, troubles and pain dissappears.<br />And one passion can lead to another, it is contagious. I now also enjoy crewel embroidery immensely and I can think of no better way to spend my time:-)Rosahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00532490904230012363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7267435638113418929.post-41992165560970896652012-04-26T00:44:40.760-04:002012-04-26T00:44:40.760-04:00I also use sewing to relax.

The last few months have been a complicated mess, given that she lives about 500 miles away. There have been scary nights as well as unexpected progress. She will be okay, but she still has a long road ahead. Sitting down at the sewing machine keeps me (and my mind) busy, and gobbles up time when I am anxiously awaiting an update. I usually end up with a wonderful quilt that reminds me that life really is a patchwork of events, good and bad, held together with stitches of love.rstrohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15037434719380864326noreply@blogger.com
