The Yellow Brick Road
We all recognize the yellow brick road that took Dorothy and her pals to Oz. How often to we stop to reflect on our own journey?
I am preparing to teach a class next month. The class content is machine quilting. In preparation for this class, I have been reflecting on my own journey.
This is one of the very first pieces that I ever machine free motion quilted by myself. The stitches are not the same length, my circle isn’t always round, I was only starting on my journey. There have been many quilts in the seventeen years between this quilt and today.
Here is a close up of a small piece that I did. It was fun to see how far I had come.
And how I now fill the areas that I quilt!
It was really good for my soul to look back and see how years of practice and experience had improved my work and I felt somehow accomplished!
And what about your own journey? It might be fun to dig out some of those first pieces and have a look how far you have moved down that yellow brick road in your own journey!
Wish I lived closer ;)) Have fun teaching your class; which I’m sure promises to be amazing <3 I really love your spiral!
Amie, this totally inspire me! I’m going to do that! That’s what I’m gonna do, just have a brief glance at my artwork! Thanks for inspiring me to do it 😀
Love, Lone
