spark

I was ironing some material to prepare a quilt backing and the selvedge (the tightly woven edge of the fabric) made me smile. I love fabric and I love little touches like this from fabric designers. 

Why is this beautiful?
- The material is a beautiful dark teal, almost denim looking with copper "sparks". The sparks make me think of all of us working together, gathering and sharing energy to make beautiful things happen
​- I love that the designer, Melodie Miller, added inspirational words - I imagine she hoped it would bring joy to those who read it. It did for me!
- I started quilting again through the pandemic and some days, over the past challenging 2+ years, quilting kept my creative spark alive
