still creative (yellow hexie spiral)

 


I'm going through a rough time can't talk about it, but I've never quite been this lonely and hopeless. 

That said it's been hard to be creative with so much on my plate I didn't ask for... still

when you have a creative spirit, it wants to be expressed and brings a sort of normalcy to the unpredictability of change. 

even in photography... seeing a wonderful light effect and capturing the moment



the color of the month at RSC is one of my favorites. I have loved yellow in all it's tones since high school.... I took yellow flowered sheets away to college and my granny's yellow scrap quilt. 

one of my little prep bowls

I am finally on my way to another yellow spiral hexie block

my yellow scrap bin is stuffed with color and pattern, and it felt therapeutic to handle them all






I have been sewing my GGG blocks together, 11 blocks wide, and 5 strips together so that maybe I can quilt them without injury to myself, then put those sections together  after quilting. With borders and another row added to the last of 3 sections, it might cover my toesies in bed. 

It is glorious so far

now to choose some quilting design
help!
in 3 large sections so far

I was never a fan of yellow when I was younger but at my age now - I love it. It's so cheerful. Love your hexie blocks and your prep bowl!
