Ab Intra by Lisa R

 This week's challenge was a gift.  I pondered, looked at fabrics I've been moved to purchase lately without a specific project in mind, thought about my pre-retirement and post-retirement time, and considered the gifts of #covidtime for #covidcreations.  Somehow, it turned in to this project, for which I am now grateful. 


I still am represented by the black/white/red side as my linear/sequential, mathematical, organized efficient, focused, boxed in, enneagram 1 self. 

However, by reconnecting with my full self through nature, family, growth, music, personal reflection, journaling and sewing, I am also represented by the colorful open-ended side.  I also was able to realize the important role sewing has played throughout my life - represented by the bubblish pieces from my wedding dress, daughter's first birthday outfit, son's nursery fabric, fabric used to sew for breast cancer patients, projects for the grandkids, a baby quilt for a former employee's new little one, costumes for High School musicals, and more.

  3. These are fantastic! It looks like they took quite a bit of time to sew in a short time frame.
