mindless sewing

i was in a funny mood on saturday, i couldn't really settle to anything and i felt truly down in the dumps. i had a few hours that were my own, so i just sat and stitched in my funny mood...just grabbing whatever fabric i had to hand, which happen to be a little pile of neutrals ready washed for a print workshop. i stole little pieces of them & cut and stitched, cut again, stitched again and so on. not sure if it's going anywhere, but it was nice to prove to myself nice things can come out of foul moods.

Sarah said...: Lovely and tranquil! Love that some of the neutrals have what looks like a wee bit of texture to them, it makes them look so comforting.; 15 May 2012 at 22:14

Claire said...: Love the splashes of colour. How about doing hand stitching (like in your post: New Obcession) over them in the same flash of colour (red on the left, green on the right)?; 30 May 2012 at 21:50
