Being in the vortex is addictive I tell you! The whole process is fun. I like digging in my scrap bags, wondering where the fabric came from and piecing together little bits that don't really go together in a perfect quilting project.
And then something wonderful happens... like you suddenly find Popeye! Where on earth did he come from? And then you start singing the song, and googling the lyrics that you can't remember. And you try to recall the characters names, and wonder what years you might have been watching the cartoon on TV.
You're deep in a rabbit hole in the vortex!
I'm having too much fun to stop yet, and heaven knows I have enough scraps to make a few of these ;)

Wow! It is growing! What size is it so far? Popeye???? Isn't it fun to play in the scrap heap?
ReplyDeleteLost in your creativity!
ReplyDeleteToo funny! That is how my Mom got my brother to eat spinach - be like Popeye! Enjoy creating your vortex.
ReplyDeleteThe Popeye Vortex! Too funny! I have baskets full of scraps and I love when I can sneak some into a new project. It makes me feel like everything is connected to everything else in the Universe. Especially when I can use a little strip of fabric from my very first quilt in a quilt that is totally different.
