Rescue Me from SAD Quilt

Weather getting colder, days getting shorter, body trying to go into hybernation. I am trying to force myself to keep going at night - TIME changed Sunday night, now my body is ready for bed at 6:30 or 7:00pm. This is the typical time of year when SAD (seasonal affective disorder) starts to set in, every year - and then ramps up to full blown status after the adrenaline rush of the holidays. This year, it seems to be starting earlier.

In the past, I have tried the "day" lights - nope! Have upped my vitamin D - nope! Miscellaneous other "cures' - nope! But, one thing that did work a few years ago was planning, starting and FINISHING a bright, wild, artsy quilt - cheerful, uplifting - made me want to work on it often, so I stayed busy at nights. Actually won 3rd place at the Central Oklahoma Quilt Guild show. Pretty nifty!

So, decided to start my search early for my Rescue-me-from-SAD quilt for this year. It helped that I went to the Houston International Quilt Show this last weekend and saw an infinite amount of SAD-busting quilt patterns and fabrics.  Here is one pattern by Alexia Marcelle Abeg that came home with me - of course it is made with Anna Maria Horner fabric - she rocks my world.

My adrenaline is going just thinking about it.
