A couple of nights back I woke in the early hours of the morning and couldn’t get back to sleep. So I reached for needle and thread as I often do when I cannot sleep.
I doodled quilted a rectangle of pale blue polka dot
fabric (doodle quilting is where you doodle on fabric and then stitch over the doodles).
As I stitched my mind kept returning to the Amish saying “busy hands,
happy heart”.
The
following morning I turned an hour of sleeplessness into a reversible seat
belt cover using Crafty Mummy’s free tutorial.
What do you do when you can't sleep?
Great make in a few sleepless hours Amanda! I usually read if I am awake at night! :) x
ReplyDeleteI read , too, when I can't sleep. I love your random fmq by hand! The thread has such a beautiful texture!

ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet doodle and a practical use for it too Amanda. I tend to read technical things when I cannot sleep. If I make the mistake of going on Pinterest, it only keeps me awake even longer.
