sewing therapy

i bought this gorgeous fabric at liberty of london

a few years ago, when i was actually lucky enough to be in london.

i tucked it away in my "special fabric cupboard".

my friend margie and her partner, linda

were *married* this summer.

when i saw pictures of their wedding, 

i noticed their peacock feather motif.

i knew just what to do for a wee wedding gift...

i made napkins, so that whenever they use them, they will

feel our love and blessings sitting at the dinner table with them.

and i made these for hannah's table out in ohio.

cutting the fabric, pressing the edges carefully, stitching the edges...

folding, and packaging them up for the mail.

in a weird way i found myself creating order 

in a totally nutso, crazy-making news cycle.

and then i moved onto another project that had stalled,

and now it's almost done.

i've recovered my center.

breathing again.
