Here's to restful weekends made of almond meal blueberry/banana muffins, creativity put to action, long walks and some of the best music in one of the most beautiful settings.
I woke up Saturday morning, whipped up a variation on the recipe I posted last week, made some tea, and kicked my home-body self out of the house. My first meeting of the Seattle Modern Quilting Guild and I am ever so thankful. A start on a project I've been thinking about for a while and time spent with other creative women was much appreciated.
Starting on my list - what I had down as a cross front pillow is actually called a plus quilt. Some day I'll talk like a real quilter. Maybe. Anna Maria Horner fabrics... squares laid out and ready to become more. Stacks and squares lovely in their own right, becoming something altogether different as the whole.
Local quilting group = score one for Seattle.
Score two comes in the form of a 3.25 mile walk from our house, to dinner, to beautiful St. Mark's cathedral for My Brightest Diamond, and home again. I'm head over heels for the way we can walk to our dinner and walk to our shows. Fifteen minutes to walk home gives you space and time to unwind, to digest, in a way that a 5 minute (or less) drive can't. Time to mull over the melodies, bold composition... that voice.
Shara was delightful. The setting, dreamy.
Our leaves have turned, our valley is awash in colors we hadn't seen her wear until now. As Shara serenaded - all things will unwind. These trees will soon shed the leaves hanging on tightly and bare the hope of winter's rest and another spring to come. In the mean time - creation.
