New Decade, Year, Month, Idea, Path, Journey

  This year our journey is taking the next step down the next path. For some reason 2020 is very comfortable and exciting. I don't know whether it is the sound of 2020 or that it is seeing 2020, but, 2020 is the time.

   I'm thinking this should be called True Confession Reality.  As you know, we, that's the royal we, are in the stages of reorganizing. There are now 50 boxes of regular cotton. Batiks, yikes, I never realized how much in the batik collection until it was all gathered together, two shelves and two bins. Of course some of these fabrics now found and can be used to finish old, forgotten and found WIPs. 

   While folding the fabric I realized that most of the fabric was highly textured. Why did I choose this fabric, and why, and how was it going to mix and match together? Even though the mind is going yes, we get to buy fabric, the heart is saying, oh no. Thinking back to the garment days, my clothes were wild and crazy colours and texture. Outlandishly funny seeing as how I worked in corporate oil patch drafting, designing and negotiating with all the blue suited men. They probably wondered what was up with this lady and how did she get here. Digression. The other day these forgotten quilts were found. Texture and texture and more texture. So, no problem putting new quilts together. Relearning curve ahead.

  So don't be afraid of texture? If you cut it up small enough no one will know what the original texture looked like.
