Kwiltz by Stephanie

Sometimes I really enjoy large swaths of favorite fabrics sewn together in a mish mash way

like this hoppy frog quilt

and this bright and happy quilt I made for me with my then all time favorites - pure color by Freddy Moran, chickens, and the fresh paint line.

This past week I worked on a sweet pink quilt with a Mary Lou style cow (don't forget to leave a comment on the last posting to win some Mary Lou fabric) for my niece Sarah. It's a no stress and fun way to piece and enjoy large chunks of favorite fabric! Time to start on a quilt for Sarah's sister who likes purple...hmmm....

TWO QUOTES THAT RESONATE TODAY - FROM LOVING KINDNESS BY SHARON SALZBERG

We can travel a long way and do many different things, but our deepest happiness is not born from accumulating new experiences. It is born from letting go of what is unneccessary, and knowing ourselves to be always at home. True happiness may not be all that far away, but it requires a radical change of view as to where to find it.

Abandoning unskillful states that cause suffering is not something we do out of fear of or contempt for those states, or out of contempt for ourselves for having those states arise in the mind. Abandoning the unskillful isn't accomplished by angrily shoving or pushing away our habits of separation. Rather it comes as we learn to truly love ourselves and all beings, so that love provides the light by which we bear witness to those burdens, watching them simply fall away.
