Feeling creative again...

Lately I've been feeling like creating again. 

I pulled out my fabric box from the bottom of the wardrobe and unearthed my sewing machine from the clutter in our spare room.  I sorted out my threads and sewing accessories and I bought myself some lovely new fabrics online.  I went to the library and borrowed some quilting books to give me some fresh inspiration.


I'll use some of these pretty fabrics to make a cute little girl's quilt for Lizzie.


I love the daisies in this fabric.  I love to have reminders of Daisy in my life.


I had a go at creating my first quilting "block".  It's still a fairly basic technique, but for a beginner like me, it's perfect!


For me, sewing is a way of creating something personal and unique.  I find the process of creating the patterns, deciding on colours and combinations, and watching the piece come together very therapeutic.  I'm looking forward to seeing how my next quilt will turn out.

Best wishes
Debbie
