Daily Notes- November 14th


So the red square up top.  Made last night.  Late.  Was thinking of something  I saw on Liz's blog.  Moving to Texas 2.0.  Not in my sidebar- since sidebar hasn't been up dated in years.

I saw the red square.  And I wanted to make one.  And I went looking for solid reds.  I don't have any.  The center is a orange red from a linen pocket I removed from a tunic that- while wildly stylish- made me look like a red linen BARN.  I thought removing the pockets would lessen the width.  No.  But I never sewed the pockets back.  

Nothing was found in the Small Closet.  And it was night time.  Light wasn't good.  So I came back to the couch and in the bag of "too busy French squares with circles very carefully hand appliquéd" I found one square of this pattern red that read as a solid.  Ish.  I cut the square into quarters.  Watched John Wick being beaten to a pulp and shot multiple times- then sewed the four to this center.  Then searched for another square in the bag. Cut it into quarters and then watched John Wick fight a girl in a mirrored closet for 30 minutes- it seemed.  Finished the Square.

It radiates so much energy- I half expect it to levitate.

there is something so centering, so calming, about nine-patches ... even with a color as intense as red
