What have you created lately?

I wrote a song about coming out of a dark place. It's how I felt after starting to recover from prostate cancer, but the song applies to pretty much any tough situation. I play keyboards, can use a drum machine and can write lyrics and a melody but I can't sing or play other instruments so A.I. voices, bass and guitar have FINALLY let me get some of my songs out there without people being subjected to my horrible singing.

Here's a link to the song just in case anyone wants to hear it: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/8ohlpg5sfw8jmiqrt7v8s/Out-of-the-dark.mp4

Last month I learned a new quilting technique meant to use up tiny scraps (think 1 inch square or less) by fusing & quilting it to a background. I cut the resulting quilt to fit the back, lapels and collar of of a jean jacket for a fiber art show. Liking it so well that I am doing a similar one for myself.
Also planning a new gallery layout for a fiber art show later in April - it is so different to what is usually done that I need to make a prototype to show the other artists. Theme "Loose Threads"
These new projects really have ideas humming through my head.

@sueinmn you should post pictures of your quilting project! I have been doing a little bit of it myself and incorporating it in my bag making.

@zenren14 Beautiful! I don’t write poetry but admire those who do.

Do you find that winter is a great time for creativity? I like having multiple projects to work on this time of the year.

@alive Very cool! My jacket pics will be posted after it goes on display.

@sueinmn

I really like this thread.
I believe we are living life as "pulling a needle thru a thread"
Each square we patch and make a rich quilt.

@scottbeammeup that’s a beautiful song! All of us who have traveled that cancer journey can empathize with your experience.

I went to college (Grace College) with Scott Beam and your user name reminded me of him. Haha!

@sueinmn a jacket! I am collecting ideas for making a quilted jacket too. Can’t wait to see yours!

@alive With quilted clothing, simpler is better! For that jacket, I plan to use a modified version of this pattern:

It is loose, simple, and easily modified. My jacket is of a vaguely oriental patchwork, and will be finished with vintage lace edging from an tablecloth rescued from destruction.
