Why did I need quilt therapy on the 4th of July? Long story short...my neighbor asked me to feed her dogs while she was out of town this weekend. While playing outside with them in the afternoon one of them took off on an adventure. Two hours later and a lot of driving I found the dog. I managed to keep my wits about me while looking for him, but horrible things ran through my head. Upon returning home I broke down and let the bottled-up emotions out in tears. After calming down I knew I needed some sewing therapy. Quilting on the frame won't cut it today. I need to cut some fabric! Something quick and easy to get a shot of dopamine (feel-good stuff) to my brain. Since it's the 4th of July, might as well play with the red, white and blue scraps.

Quilt Therapy
Rummaging through the scrap bins took the edge off of my stressed brain but the real hit of feel-good hormone didn't kick in until cutting the fabric. Sigh...it was just what I needed. I love red, white and blue.
I was as good as new by the time the fabrics were sorted into stacks for the blocks. This was a good stopping point for the day. Time to recharge my batteries with a good night's sleep.

That would be so frustrating to have to hunt for the missing dog! I can completely understand the need for fabric therapy. Have fun stitching today, I'm looking forward to seeing what you make with the blocks.
