You know it's spring when the bunnies are out... baby bunnies will be along soon!!!
I have always thought my quilting and "touching fiber" helped keep my stress levels down - I know it helped me a lot when I got sick years ago and helped me to learn to cope with chronic illness
Fabric, texture and color feed a part of me that keeps me on an even keel. Especially this long winter. Love all the tops you have sewn.
I read that about "touching fiber also. I quilt, crochet, weave, spin and now I am learning to knit. I am wondering about the pattern you use for your dishcloths. Do you have a pattern or do you just know how?
Those are some beautiful tops! I didn't get any finishes for March.
No wonder I am so calm, not depressed, and have decent blood pressure - the fiber feely factor is to blame! Yahoo tells us what we've known all along - crafting is our sanity!
Beautiful tops. Love your dishcloths. I read the same Yahoo article. I'm still enjoying your knitted dishcloth pattern. I believe Yahoo got it right on this one : )
I bet you'll catch up on your quilting another month - and aren't you still ahead from all you accomplished in January? Of course, now you've managed to add another bunch of tops to the pile of "to be quilted!"
You'll never be bored, isn't that nice? And knowing you'll be calm and well adjusted is just a bonus! I certainly have experienced first hand the calming and centering effect quilting can have on me.
Your unfinished projects look better than my finished ones. LOL! I have every confidence that you will push yourself and get some quilted this month.
