Good Morning.
It is still raining.
So there was an old scrap of patchwork, made paperless piecing style, saved from something. I cut some pieces off. Framed them, cabin style. Using some muslin scrap as a foundation.
They seem happy.
I like how the new patchwork holds the older patchwork. Safely as new form.
I do like the framing/holding aspect of the the log cabin format. There are a lot of little old things floating around in the nothing basket that could use a hug and a little attention. I even imagine them feeling more useful.
I suppose this could work with some old stray weaving.
Happy vacation, dear Jude. It’s so nice to take it easy. We all deserve a break today. 🥰
it’s good to rest from worry and such.
That first set of pics…the warm colored block…I see a few of those ‘leaves’ continued in stitch, with little white thread bead dots! I guess I’ve been hanging around here a while 😉
been just considering how it might continue…
as my Aunt Francis used to say….Mark my words
i’m waiting for any day now, a segment on NPR Morning Edition
How Log Cabin is being studied as a therapeutic means for all
mannner of brain function
😁 Aw, Grace…love this!
good old textile therapy. Funny how the world is catching on…
this palette holds the peaceful warmth of summer. dreaming of a woven hammock. and a log cabin t-shirt! YES!…
ease…
A lot of love and peace coming out of the “ nothing basket”.
No expectation. Ahhhh
Rising up out of the Nothing Basket into the embrace of a new role … oh, happy day! 🙂
like a deep breath
imagining your basket as a seething broth of ideas and threads
the basket has become really something in the last months, I have lumped it all together without the stress of trying to find anything, all is going grab bag style.
I do like the sketchiness of the other sides, especially the block printed cotton … and yes, log cabin seaming is one of my favorite things to do … as with many of the simplest things (running and back stitch come to mind), it has so much potential
the sketchiness is soothing and it is inspiring some what-iffing.
The log cabin is just simple, yes, ease. And useful.
Such lovely softness…like an old t-shirt…🩶
but new again
I think log cabins have been stuck in my head for quite awhile now,
A love and hate thing going on at the moment 😁
yeah, it just dawned on me how useful they might simply become in some simpler way.
Log cabins forever. It could be a bumper sticker. 🙂 And yes, holding…so beautiful to think of that.
or a t shirt!
heehee Yes!
