Be Calm, 50 x 50 inch art quilt, by O.V. Brantley, 2014. For sale at ETSY.com/shop/ovbrantleyquilts

When you work  in the political world as I do, you are subjected to  constant hysteria. The simplest things can make people act like the sky truly is falling! I try to be the calm person in the room.

My fourth quilt in my “BE” series reminds me of the importance of being calm when trying to solve problems. It is simply called Be Calm. 

Although the colors in this quilt are strong  and the pattern is bold, the green fabric in the quilt seems to have a calming effect on the rest of the color palette. The words “Be Calm” are hand embroidered on the front of this quilt. It measures 50 x 50 inches and is listed for sale in my ETSY studio store, along with the first quilt in the “Be” series called Be Amazing shown below.

Are you the calm person in the room or are you waiting for the sky to fall?
