This morning before the humid conditions become too much. A walk quietly in nature amongst the trees towering high above was the perfect way to enjoy nature. Also sat next to the murmuring stream and watching Dragon flies dancing over the water and playing hide and seek in between the leaves of an overhanging tree. The little fish was swimming and the crayfish was just exploring over and under the rocks. It was just magical to sit and watch nature, sometimes we just need to get back to the earth and the heart of the organic which is lost in all the craziness of the world. Stepping away from all the technology is good for all of us. We need to play in the dirt, it is the connection to the source of the universe.
Aqua fabrics, some strips cut.
Squares for the churn dash blocks.
Triangles for the same blocks. All of them from the scraps.
Plus more strips for the nine patch blocks and four patch blocks.
Today it is back to the hand quilting, slowly but surely getting the quilt done for September.
I agree about stopping to play in the dirt now and then! Pretty little bits in your block bins there - they are adding up!
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree on the grounding yourself with nature appreciation. I did a bit of that myself this week. Love all the bins of your projects. So organized.
ReplyDeleteYour morning walk does indeed sounds magical. Why, from your beautiful writing I have been transported to a miraculous place where the noise of the world is no more. Love all those bins of scrappy loveliness. Love too, all the aqua that is being seen this month. Aqua.....such a peaceful and tranquil hue.
ReplyDeleteYou've been assembling a lot of blocks and cutting a lot of fabric. Your walk sounds very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteyes sometimes we just need to put the phones away, the computer - etc and just listen to nature - I love sitting on the porch and listen to the morning doves and the cicada's
ReplyDeleteSuch a great way to start the day . The sights and sounds of nature are relaxing. Looks like a lot of fun projects shaping up in your baskets . Have a great week and happy quilting.
ReplyDeleteSo many little pieces in those blockS! I also go for a walk or two every day...reduces stress, good exercise and gives me time to think.
ReplyDeleteGetting out of doors is always opportunity for mood boosting! Love all your scrappy play.
