Find joy in the journey from "summary" of Sunday Morning Quilts by Amanda Jean Nyberg,Cheryl Arkison
When it comes to quilting, it can be easy to get caught up in the end result. We spend hours carefully selecting fabrics, cutting pieces, and sewing them together with precision. We envision the beautiful finished quilt draped over a bed or hanging on a wall, admired by all who see it. But in our quest for perfection, we sometimes forget to enjoy the process itself. Quilting is not just about creating a finished product; it is about the journey we take to get there. Each stitch, each seam, each piece of fabric is a part of that journey. It is in these small moments that we find joy. The act of quilting itself is therapeutic, calming our minds and allowing us to focus on the task at hand. It is a way to express our creativity, to play with colors and patterns, and to bring beauty into the world. When we take the time to slow down and savor each step of the quilting process, we find that it is not just the finished quilt that brings us joy, but the act of creating it. We learn to appreciate the imperfections, the little mistakes that make each quilt unique. We find satisfaction in the progress we make, no matter how small. And we discover a sense of accomplishment in seeing our vision come to life, one stitch at a time. So, as we sit at our sewing machines or hunch over our cutting mats, let us remember to find joy in the journey. Let us embrace the process of quilting, with all its challenges and triumphs. Let us revel in the simple pleasure of creating something beautiful with our own two hands. And let us be grateful for the opportunity to express ourselves through fabric and thread. For in the end, it is not just the quilt that brings us joy, but the love and care we put into making it.
