I will close out this post with a couple quotes from this amazing book by Michael Singer: It was amazing to listen to the author Michael Singer discuss the book with Oprah as I continued my pillow-piecing-meditation. I would say it is one of those MUST READS, especially if you are on a path of self-insight and growth with how you interact with the world. I was surprised to learn that it is one of Oprah’s favorite books and that she has also given as a gift (to many more people than I have). I’ve read this book twice a couple years ago and I’ve listened to the audiobook. In the middle of my pillow-piecing-meditation, Oprah’s interview with Michael Singer, author of The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself, played. Listening to this book was the perfect medium to do just that. To lay out this specific pattern where you get the effect of concentric diamonds of light and dark, I really had to quiet my mind and focus. I listened to this book while I laid out the pieced half-square triangles for the Crystallized pillow patter and it was very meditative.

The audiobook is read by the author and features curated sections of the actual interviews with inspirational thought leaders from Oprah’s TV series Super Soul Sunday. I’ve been listening to a wonderful audiobook I borrowed from the library, The Wisdom of Sundays: Life-Changing Insights from Super Soul Conversations by Oprah Winfrey. The beauty of a truly “scrappy” piece is you can have all sort of crazy fabrics together and somehow it works (at least in my deluded mind)! The Untethered Soul (Audiobooks) Here it is on my small design wall (the larger design wall in the hallway has the art quilt in progress I mentioned earlier): This display made me want to eventually make all the pillows in the book! If you remember from my post Central Oregon Quilt Shop Hop Day 1, QuiltWorks quilt shop had a wonderful Pillow Pop display with several completed pillows: I pulled out this book from my craft book collection: Pillow Pop: 25 Quick-Sew Projects to Brighten Your Space by Heather Bostic and began laying out the pillow design per one of the patterns – Crystallized(on page 82 if you have the book).
