    LETTING GO SO QUILTING CAN WORK ITS MAGIC

    “One of my favourite things about quilting is the state of creative fl ow you encounter when you’re in the middle of a project you love. Concentrating on piecing a block and what step comes next helps me to ‘let it go’, whatever ‘it’ might be for me that day. Often when I am weighed down with daily concerns, I use quilting as therapy to help still my mind and gain greater clarity and perspective. I pieced this quilt after having one of ‘those’ days, and by the time it was fi nished, I didn’t have a care in the world.” – Samantha Dorn
