Thanks to chittle chattle for sharing this link http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2002862/Why-quilting-uniquely-good-us.html#comments which confirms what we dedicated quilters, embroiderers etc have known all along. Our art/craft or whatever we want to call it is good for us.
Here is my latest attempt. I'm surrounded by the most wonderful landscape but often find it difficult to capture it in fabric. This piece uses simple raw edge piecing and free machine embroidery to try and capture the feel of a dusky evening view.
I got a nice surprise when I looked at the back. Seeing the quilting in black and white has set me thinking about a winter version. Before I get to that though I have others to finish - why is it always more tempting to start something new than to finish what is on the go?

Love the back, Pat. Scan it before you cover it up. Try manipulating it in a graphics program for extra inspiration too!
