I don't know when though. When life was (ahem) normal, and I went to quilt guild meetings with regularity, and I participated in challenges...sigh...those were the days. I signed up for the center of the Round Robin. The night this was due at the guild meeting I had a brief facebook conversation with Renee wondering what… Continue reading One day I’ll quilt this quilt

Thinking!
This words of this meme have been popping up all over the place the last few days. And I've seriously had to give these words consideration. Would I write a book? Well, uh. Ummm. Ehrm. Tried this.

Character – Lots and lots of Character
Today is a two quilt day, each has character. Dad Would be Honored is the first Feathered Star using Marsha McCloskey's directions I ever made. Most of the quilt is made with dad's ties.

Character Builder: Enjoying my Work

Human imagination allows us to look at what is there, see something vastly different that what is intended, and develop our sense of play. This piece started with the feather motif in the middle,… Continue reading Character Builder: Enjoying my Work

if at first you don’t succeed
Outside my front window the Mockingbird is chasing the Blue Jay away from the berries on the Dogwood. The Mockingbird's nest is towards the top of the tree so apparently the tree belongs to it. (I don't know the difference between the males and females.) Spring happens in just about fourteen days, to say… Continue reading if at first you don’t succeed

Sensational headlines are the best. Let's get your attention, tell you a story that pulls the heart strings, gets a laugh or annoys the heck out of you.
