Sunday Summary

Good evening ... I hope everyone is finishing a safe and creative weekend.

Football for most TV viewers.

I did have the games on but have been sewing most of the day.

I am creating a black and white art quilt and have been working on this idea in the sewing room. Using the sewing machine up until now ... I am ready to do some hand sewing. I like hand sewing, I find it rewarding to see the stitches slip into place as I work around the surface.

It is very strict to work with only various fabrics of white and blacks ... I really don't have that many in my stash. Whatever medium you like to create with ... fabric, pencil or paintbrush ... challenge yourself to work out of your comfort zone every so often.

This art quilt may or may not end up being one of my favorites, but I am learning from the process ... and that is the real success for me and many who create.
