Whew! Two things in one day, although you only get one at the moment. The postcard is a silk background, cut from a scarf in the stash (1 point) and a real rock glued on, and a picture of a shell I printed on fabric. I needed to get away from the grids, although you may notice the woven check taking its place, but I liked the work-from-the-back feeling.
The second thing I was working on was a page of quilt journal. I am taking a class at Valley Fabrics (a totally rocking spot). It meets once a month, and this was the first meeting. The plan is to have a page for each month, for the whole year. It looks like a great group of people. Everyone got right to work , thinking about what they wanted to do. I like having people around who have a grip. No whining! (The brits say whingeing)
I got completely paralyzed there, because I wanted to use the computer to print pictures and I hadn’t finished thinking yet, and I had been trying not to over-think any of it and just work, and I had no flow…. It felt much better to be home and start storming around my space again. I dropped the one idea I had had in the store, and pursued the idea I had to begin with, and I have a river running through the middle of it, just like I think I meant to do.
