There is joy in pressing over a crumbled piece of fabric and creating a beautiful smooth surface. As I press, I enjoy the pattern of the fabric, the texture as I run my hand across the now flat surface, and the anticipation of beginning a new project.
There is joy in picking up my rotary cutter, trimming the ragged edge and making those perfect cuts. Trimming the threads and revealing a clean edge gives me a feeling of order in my world.
There is joy in stitching. It is the joy of creating by joining of two fabrics together and then two more until I have made a design.
Today, I am thankful for small blessings as I work in my studio. May your day be blessed as well.
Ironing is often my most favorite part of working with fabric. You take out the wrinkles and make the fabric perfect! Well, almost anyway. :)
