A repost of a repost from Angela Harasen -“This quilt has been a journey for me. The pattern is called Me Sew Happy Quilt (by Jo Jo Grant, These Clever Hands Curated Quilt Fabrics & Patterns ) I stumbled across the pattern by coincidence and joined my first ever quilt along. At the time I was the farthest from happy I have ever been. I knew I needed to do something, but didn’t know what. I thought I’d see if making this Happy quilt would help. And it did, for a while. Then it didn’t. After reaching out for some help, I am feeling better, and after 5 weeks of not even being able to look at this project or sew a single stitch, I knew it was time to finish it. It all just worked. And it looks better than I ever imagined! This was by far the most therapeutic project I have ever done. I’m pleased to say that there is happiness sewn into this quilt. I smile every time I see it. I’m calling my first ever quilt-along a success!” Thank you for sharing your quilt, Angela. Maybe it’s time I organised another quiltalong?!

For me, even ten days in paradise requires a self care kit, & this includes some hand stitching. With no pre-holiday project on the go, I madly prepped some blocks for the Cherish quilt pattern (not my design), in some fabrics that I love (not current stock), & was good to go. In order to switch my brain off I need the project to not feel like “work”. It’s a blurry line when your business is also your hobby - to be able to enjoy creating without it feeling like work. This project ticked the boxes. Even years after its release, I still love the Bloomology prints by Monika Forsberg & it is a joy to play with it again. I’ve added in some small co-ordinate prints for the piecing. I’ve had a lovely break, with lots of sunshine & swimming. My battery is fully recharged, & it needs to be, with the Melbourne Craft & Quilt Fair next week!

How fabulous is this version of my “Everything Goes” pattern?! There are so many ways to make it - in the one colourway e.g. all blues; in a limited palette - like this one by Debbie in predominantly pinks & blues; maybe in a monochromatic theme of blacks & whites; or like my original quilt where I threw absolutely everything in - including vintage scraps, the uglies that I could never bring myself to use, & the tiny scraps of my favourites that I couldn’t bear to part with. It truly is an “Everything Goes” pattern!
