* I've been doing some instinctual stitching on my peace quilts. Keeping my hands busy and my mind focused on the pull of the thread, is a wonderful form of meditation. Instinctual stitching brings me peace. * * * #peacequilt #BBQuilt #instinctualstitching #instinctuallystitched #intuitivestitching #intuitivequilting #freeformquilting #miniquilts #miniquilts #textileartwork #textileart #textileartist #fiberart #fiberartwork #fiberartist #fiberartistsofinstagram #sewingproject #repurposedfabric #fabricscraps #fabricscrapsproject #quilting #perfectionnotion #mixedmediaart #handstitched #handstitching #quiltingmyway #intuitivestitching #intuitivestitch #socalartist #beatrizhelton (at Upland, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkeanFDutZ_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

* Here are a couple detail pics of my Peace Quilt, I'm using #instinctualstitching to put my quilt together and as embellishment. I started this little blanket of comfort on February 24th when Ukraine was invaded. Besides everything else disturbing that's been going on, I needed something to keep my hands busy and my mind focused on the stitching rather than the news. It's been a great help to me, that's why I call it the Peace Quilt. I've always wanted to take quilting courses, but the precise cutting of fabric was daunting to me. It seemed a little too close to trying to attain perfection, which you know isn't my thing. So I decided to make my own quilt without planning or expectations and I absolutely love the process. I feel it's a good illustration of all the chaotic feelings I was having. I'm designing a course for the Peace Quilt so if you're interested, sign up for my newsletter by clicking on my Linktree in bio so you can know more details and when the class launches. I hope you're having a great week!
