I got burned out on quilting due to health issues mixed with very tight deadlines. It’s been two months now and I haven’t sewn anything. Which is just plain crazy to me.

To fill the void that was once taken up by quilting, I decided to try out weaving again!

Well, let’s just say that I took to it very fast. I absolutely love it. It’s calming and I can just sit and watch TV while working on some random design that I have no true plans for. It’s like improv quilting without all the stress about if it will lay flat or not.

This extra time has also given me the chance to watch way too much Star Trek. I had never watched any before, but now I’m 2 series in and halfway through a 3rd. Apparently taking a break from quilting made me in to a Trekkie. :0 Who knew?

I’m also using this new hobby as a way to play with all the neon colors. I just love neon, and there aren’t enough neon fabrics out there to fulfill me! There IS enough yarn though.

I have a feeling this is going to be something you’ll be seeing a lot of from me in the future! So keep your eyes peeled.

P.S: the little white loom above above was made by me and I’m tempted to make some for the shop. Thoughts?
