Works finished!

It is a satisfaction to see the works done. I enjoy the time I spend in each piece, adding details, day by day, until I feel it is enough. I put lot of love in every touch and then, when is time to let them go, I just hope people can feel it and enjoy using it. The dog quilt is on its way to her new home. Thanks!

Old things, new beginnings

We started this month with great enthusiasm and creativity. We have finished a new model combining blue jeans, cotton and a touch of pink wool. While making it, I was surprised about how a touch of a bright color can give joy to the dark ones. Such is life! This pink flowers are like a hug, a smile, or maybe music we like to hear. Let's open our hearts to recieve all the gifts that are like  rain to the plants, something good and refreshing. I like sewing quilts with recycled materials because it joins things that were once separated and useless, giving them another sense, creating something new; cutting and discarding what is totally destroyed, letting them go. Look what  a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt you don't want to use any more can become.  January is the month of hope and new beginnings!

Leftovers

According to Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a leftover is something that remains unused or unconsumed; it is a residue. I'm not here to do the work of a dictionary but to call the attention about the form we usually consume. We think we never have enough so It is easy to grab more than we really need. I don't know the reason but we've learned to live with an expectation of scarcity. It wouldn't be a problem if we accept to consume what we get, but we don't, so the leftovers end into the trash can. It is easy to throw everything away and forget about what it is going to be. The problem is that this behavior is causing a big problem to our planet in terms of contamination of the soil, air and water. We can take two little steps to solve this big problem: reducing the quantity we consume to adjust it to what we really need, and recycling all that is recyclable.  When I'm working on my pieces, I put the leftovers into a bag, and later, I try to think about ho...

Interweaving!

   El Entrevero. Escultor: José Belloni.                Hello, friends! It is cold in Uruguay.  We are trying to deal with the COVIT-19 and to take cover at a time. Some days, the wind is so strong, that makes you feel like a piece of paper circling up in the sky and making the wind chill temperature even lower. Here, the situation is under control and the citizens feel confident in the way the president is making decisions. The city is still quiet, the street musicians are not taken their places in squares and boulevards, there are no birds singing, just pigeons. You can see few children or grannies walking on the streets and the parks are empty for security reasons. But people are going to work, the stores are open and also some restaurants. Churches are doing mass with a restricted protocol and timetable. Most of the people are using masks and sanitizers in their hands; nowadays you can find sanitizer everywhere, but it is...
