Ever feel like pulling the plug on the entire planet? Just a few glorious hours without internet, social media, TV, radio, or phone. Back in the day, my quilting setup was pure silence...well, unless you count the soothing purr of the sewing machine, which doubled as my own quirky brand of meditation music. Then the radio snuck in, next was the TV, and most recently podcasts. After years of non-stop noise, my brain had enough. The last two days has been almost total silence while sewing.
It’s incredible how much I can get done when there’s no noise. Even more fascinating is seeing where my mind wanders when I’m simply present in the moment. This weekend, while hand stitching yo-yos on the tulip quilt and sewing the binding to the back of my 2 bucks a block quilt, I’m staying unplugged from the world.
See you on Monday morning with an update on my silent hand stitching experiment.
