Meditation
There are many forms of meditation. The ones that I find therapautic are when I create. Doing repetetive relaxing motions.
First of all choosing beads or buttons. Tactile sensations. Round objects, smooth textures.
and the colors this time are soothing. Ocean, sand and sea shades.

Wave Quilt Patchwork Zippered Pouches
I like to keep a supply of upcycled zippered pouches. I have a box with a number of them. they are my go to gift wrap, as a gift in themselves, a pouch to place jewelry in when I gift a button necklace,. a coin purse, and I also put herbal tea mixes in to gift when I go visiting friends and neighbours.
More wave quilt patchwork zippered pouches made this morning with the remnants from my large wave landscape piece

Something Practical
I have many wave landscape patchwork pieces. Some are for the exhibition which I will be having with my students and many are samples for classes. Most of them I gift but sometimes I use the quilted patchwork fabric to create other products.
I had that large 4 season piece which I had not yet quilted and backed and I decided to make something practical, 2 zippered pouches out of it.
Zippered pouches are things that one can never have too many of. I find hundreds of use

T Shirt Remnants
I needed something in pink shades to complete an outfit. Some sort of accessory. I already have a button necklace but wanted something a bit more boho and casual.
A t shirt necklace is what I wanted, so I went to the remnant pile to see what size of t shirt remnants I had in pinks.

Camo Crop Top
condition but it had a number of oil stains on it.
I was loathe to cut it up for patchwork so after thinking about it for a bit and remembering that I had a few camo colored t shirts I decided to create another crop top or 2.
