I have kept nearly all scrappy offcuts and tidyings of my hand dyed and printed fabrics. Over time, I have joined these into what is a rather large ball. I added some other bits and pieces to create a colourful bowl. I love how the transitions of colour are so random and spin outas is from the sun. Serindipity at its best. I'll continue working back into this by hand to add marks and other embroidery. From a fairly quick and easy project, it has become a slow stich, comforting project.  

  Priority #1 Create: Making zippered bags from some of my art quilts is getting them out of storage and transformed into something useful. I'm using a technique from Design Matters TV whose re-imagined purse pattern is a delight to make. Every time. Each bag is lined with hand dyed and printed fabric. I'm enjoying saying "goodbye" and "thanks for your service" as I cut into quilts that, at the time, consumed every creative moment of my life. I'm enjoying the wooo hooo that accompanies the letting go. It's good for my (creative) soul.
