This weekend we can enjoy several nights of a Harvest Full Moon, (large red or orange moon rising around sunset) and then the Fall Equinox comes on Thursday Sept 22. The Equinox is the official start of Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere, and here in Boulder we already have leaves starting to turn.
For many of us, it is an energizing time of year, with the kids back in school, and the heat of summer subsiding. It is a great time to clean out a studio, reorganize a stash, and update our color palette and supplies.
It is also a great time of year to plan for new projects, and think about setting goals for 2017. Is this the year you will learn a new technique? Enter a quilt in a contest? Upgrade your sewing machine? Go to a creative retreat?
I have my list of quilt projects tacked to the wall, along with deadlines. I am scheduling out my work, so I don’t freak out about getting it all done at once! Now is the time of year that we really get down to work on quilts for deadlines, and projects for the holidays.
While picking my tomatoes by the light of the Harvest Moon, I am thinking about using shades of red in my next project. The cycles of the seasons roll past us, creating harmony and motivation. Just spend a little time with your fabric stash, perhaps with the moonlight streaming in your window, and you’ll be dreaming of your next project too!
sharing your Passion for Fabric…
