KISS
= KEEP it SIMPLE SIMPLE
Every now and then I remind myself that keeping my work simple is how I stay on coarse for the kind of work I really want to do and I go back to BASIC SIMPLE DESIGNS . .for me this takes thought believe it or not . . .my dear friend Leslie brought me over a chairseat to overlock for her and the beauty of this simple design . . .circles of recycled textures and whatever one has on hand reminded me again that SIMPLE (for me )is BEST and back to Basics I go . . . . for some time now I have been keeping a sample strip of almost every 1/2 yard of wool I dye . . . cutting it up into a 3.5 inch square and sewing them together in the old fashioned simple pattern called 9 PATCH . . . . meaning 9 little squares to a patch.So this weekend I got out 4 little squares and put them together . . . as is without worry to the colours that should be beside what
-JUST DOING IT . . . .
stop fretting over which colour goes better beside what . . .and if the points meet perfectly or not!
When it isnt perfet it is good LUCK anyway . . . .and it looks more old fashioned . . and thats what I like. . . .
so voila!
I find the wool squares sewn together very satisfying to study! Perhaps because of the simplicity! Will it be a pillow? Cathy G
ReplyDeleteNO Cathy-it will be a full sized WOOL bed quit!. . . .of about 67 blocks like this sewn together . . .It could be a nice pillow also . . . . .I am having fun using all my dyed wool for this project!
