diversion therapy...

there is lots going on in this household at the moment...
emotions are heightened...at least mine are...

one chick flying to the other side of the world, one chick changing student houses and raiding cupboards, and the last chick gearing up for final school exams...plus work has been soooo busy...

it has made me realise how much i depend on my stitching room to find the calm...to recharge...to find peace... seek solitude...and to re-balance...

this has been a project that i can just sew without having to think..straight lines... one after the other and again some...to escape the emotions...5 minutes here...30 mins there...
now for the sandwiching and quilting..
the fabrics in this moda range (french general) have the most lovely reds, subtle, faded, yet with lots of depth...
the fabric was a gift, not something i would normally choose, and they have really grown on me...

and whilst i love the reds...the greys are to die for...
