bee beautiful

how nice it is to walk to the mail box

and find an envelope filled with fabrics

things that you might or might not have in your own collection

but things that someone has selected, cut, packaged

things that carry the energy of another quilter

right in to your own creative thought process

how nice it is to put a nice hot iron on the fabrics

and sort them by color, then value, then shape, and size

cutting, sewing, pressing

putting your own energy into the project ahead

starting with what is a given, what is known

(take these fabrics, make log cabin blocks)

and then letting your mind wander and your ideas take you to other places

and finally

how nice it is to have just a little extra

to give back

either from the garden or from the fabric stash

or from the hours in the day

is where my scraps will end up
