My Color is Brown

"And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands as we commanded you."

1 Thessalonians 4:11

This post is a little deviation from my normal posts. Just had to tell you about my week.

Brown. One of my favorite colors. I LOVE BROWN! Last week was a brown kind of week.

Maybe it began when I was a child. Someone called me "brown eyes," and it always made me smile. Brown hair too, under the gray now. 

This picture may not be color but them there are brown eyes and hair!

                                     Next came stylish brown

                               dresses with brown suede boots. 

                                   Wish I could fit in them now!

My sister made me an all-brown afghan for my queen size bed in my twenties. I love this afghan. I still use it today, Those were the curtains I had to go with it: wildlife, of course, I made them. That's my cousin Rick and Sandy in front of them.

Brown syrup, Brown candy, brown everything!

Our brown labs! Abby's gone now, but Jo still sticks close to me.

Last week was a brown kind of week. My favorite quilt shop was having 25% off of everything, so, of course, I had to go. Usually, I'm matching fabric when I go there because I look at fabric online all the time and purchase some. This time, though, I was going to go and see what inspired me.

Five minutes after walking around, brown came to my mind. And just like that I decided the fabric had to be brown! I found just the shades of brown I wanted! Pinecones flooded the fabric. That was it!

All week I sewed on two quilt pieces just for me! September and October I sewed Christmas pieces to give, so I was looking forward to having two pieces for me to enjoy.

 I love all the brown! I put a green back on it because there's green behind the pinecones. I can just feel myself wrapping it around me. 

Not enough brown in this one. Not sure why I settled on this design. You can still see pins because the binding hasn't been hand sewed yet. 

When we moved to PA I hadn't sewed in over 30 years. Never quilted. But the Quilt Ministry at my new church called my name. Saved me that first year when I knew nobody and was homesick. 

I'm thankful for the women I met as I learned to quilt. I give away just as many pieces as I keep for myself. Even my Hope ministry takes part in my sewing projects. 

But, back to brown. The internet told me the color brown creates feelings of wholesomeness, stability, and peace. Organization, relaxation and warmth. Stimulates the appetite. Well, I don't need any help there!

I couldn't find any quotes that were favorable about brown. They just don't have any idea how rich and warm brown is!

Yes, it was a brownish kind of week. Who likes brown? Join the club!

Do they make suede boots in size plus plus?
