Anxiety!

It feels like I have been away from 'blog world' for such a long time. In reality it's actually only 2 days, well one and a half. I have been welded to the pc for tedious, stressful stuff, paperwork for my interview. I think??? I am done now, as prepared as I can be. I'm probably not. I have most likely forgotten the one piece of essential information that I need, you know when you can't see the wood for the trees? I am a bit stressed but I'm sure that will pass after a nice relaxing evening of embroidery.
Now...my new piece. You will notice we have colour again. I got to thinking about what I missed creatively, that thing about my work that says 'Karen' and I decided it's not necessarily white on white, it's more the process and the end product. I was missing the idea of a large finished piece, the process, patchwork, applique, repetetive, time consuming, I'm not a 'whip it up quick' kind of girl. Not in any kind of long term way at least. I really enjoyed my venture into the world of colour making those small things for the shop, and my hook and eye cloth. So, I have embarked upon a personal project, something for me, with all the usual 'Karen' process and a bit of colour thrown into the mix. I am going to make a patchwork piece, 3 inch squares with vintage cloth, running stitch and text.



When I have all the squares done and joined together I may quilt it. That will be a kind of new venture for me. I haven't really done much quilting, lots of patchwork but not quilting. So I am really, really excited. Not only do I get to make it, I get to keep it!
