I did not see this one coming
Last week I was pouting in my sewing room because my break from work was almost over and I had not done a lick of sewing. My mood was dark. I blamed the holidays. I blamed the family. I blamed work because I only had two weeks off instead of three. Reason counted for nothing.
While morosely staring around, my gaze lit upon one of my little packages from Temecula. The kit was made up of Jo Morton’s Spice Chest fabrics and they are spicy. They almost smell like cinnamon. Well, they got my attention. I thought I’d just press a couple and cut a few pieces to see how they look together. Just a little taste, nothing more. Next thing I knew, I was 1/3 of the way through the top so how could I stop? I didn’t want another UFO cluttering up the sewing space so I kept going. Now it is finis but I have ANOTHER little quilt top that needs quilting. At least the funk has lifted and I am ready to tackle one of the regularly scheduled projects.
Wonderful therapy – those beautiful colours!!
What a great way to find that the funk has lifted – lovely quilt and fabrics – well done!
It's great, I love the soicy colours and it's good you managed to get one sewn in the nick of time before having to go back to work.
Taryn, your quilt is absolutely awesome! Such warm rich colors. I've been thinking of signing up for one of their plans.
What a nice quilt! A bit of cutting and sewing is always good therapy?
I have some of these fabrics on order. It's a treat to see how nice they look in a quilt. 🙂
I can't tell you how many quilts I've started that same way! Glad I'm not alone.
This is darling.
Perfect way to start the year! Great little quilt!
Happy New Year!
I love those colors !
what a little cutie – love those colors.
Sewing – great therapy –
What a great little quilt this is!!! Love the fabrics!! happy sewing, Daniëlle
What a great way to get out of a funk! Gorgeous, this is one of my fav Jo Morton lines.
My, Taryn!! It is gorgeous – the scent of cinnamon very obvious:) That feeling – when things just roll on is one of the best. Take care:)
Nothing like an adorable packet of fabrics and a bit of piecing to pick us up. It is really a wonderful quilt!!
Gorgeous! It seems that often things put together quickly come out the best. Love it!
Nicely done! I love this monthly mini a lot!! And you know what? Now I just received the next one after this one yesterday. More fun follows…
And that is beautiful! I love Jo's fabrics so much.
Glad you were able to lift your spirits!
Beautiful! I love this! I love when I don't feel like doing any sewing and end up with so much done. It's all the planning that wears me down sometimes and just the simple act of getting started with no big intentions that I am the most productive. Happy stitching!

It is very pretty. I am stuck myself and have been. Thanks for the inspiration.
What a way to get out of a funk! I felt that way yesterday, but woke up this am full of sewing enthusiasm! Great finish!
What a cutie!!!!
That is gorgeous I love the fabrics too, must try and find some.
I too have not done any sewing and feel grumpy about it as I had time off too.
Glad you found some sewing spirit.

Lovely , lovely quilt.
It's gorgeous!! That fabric is so rich looking. Doesn't it just feel so good to sit down and sew? :0) Glad your funk is over.
