Embrace Life

Sometimes........

......life just happens.

And you have to 'get a grip'.

You need to sew,

you need to keep busy,

but your brain is going in a million different directions,

your emotions are a tangled mess.

Such has been the case for me these last few weeks,

and, thank goodness that when The Scrapmaster

could no longer deny her alter ego,

and introduced The Fabric Pig,

she also became a fabric snob,

and I was in the right place at the right time.

Armed with two big bags of her cast off solid fabrics,
and inspired by this beauty made by Smiles from Kate

I was able to do some mindless 'cutting and sewing therapy'.

My father has passed away at the age of 83.
Despite the age factor,
it is always a tremendous blow
when you lose a parent.

I feel so blessed to be a quilter,
to have this passion,
to be able to channel my energy toward the positive
while I process life,
and yes,
death.

Perhaps it is the teacher in me, but isn't there always a lesson?
Today's lesson:

Embrace Life
