I found a stray block from a class with Kaffe Fassett called "Square Clamshell." It took about 30 minutes to make it into a pillow cover. Today I'm going to place it in my therapy office. This is a big deal for me. So far, my office has been decorated nicely, but with very little of my personality. Therapy is supposed to be about the client, not about me. Right? But now I'm exploring ways to bring the two big arenas of my life together--therapy and quilting. I've told a few clients that I do quilting for relaxation. I doubt they'll notice the pillow. But it will be nice for me to see it there.
As usual, we seem to be on the same page. It's spooky. I'm making my pillow from a huipil scrap. It was the sleeve part, and is a bit out of square. I blocked it and it is better. It was badly stained with the soil of time. I soaked it in BIZ and that helped a lot. Thanks for the idea. I have a box of orphan blocks.

ReplyDeleteSo... Beautiful! I think it is a great idea to blend the both. I would not be surprised if some client booked you for teaching quilting along with the therapy!
By the way, I forgot your name in the previous comment so I had to come back and re-write : )
