I need to change my side picture to say that I have made 2 quilts in one week. Last year I had an idea to make a word quilt. I did not want to make a big quilt but something small with just one word that I could relate to. Last year I chose the word- Pause. I found myself making some pretty big decisions and I needed to take a moment and think about it. That is were pause came from. I did refer back to that word quite a bit last year and hope to continue to use it this year.
With my father under the care of Hospice and other issues going on, I needed a word for this year. I need to take better care of myself like all of us do. Being a caregiver is very stressful and hard on the body and soul. In order to help release some of the tension in my soul I chose the word- Mindful. Here is my quilt:
I used the pattern from Quilt Talk.
A book by Sam Hunter of Hunter Design Studio. She has created some wonderful quilts using these paper pieced templates. I shrunk mine down to a smaller size since the word is much longer. This mini quilt measures in at 11 1/2x 31 1/2. This will make it's home on my wall in my sewing area.
Now to finish something else while I can. My list of UFO's are going down!
Thanks for stopping by.
Blessings
Amy
