We're eleven days from Thanksgiving. Eleven. Please don't be shocked by my admission that I had to look this up. These last two weeks have been full and thinking about this particular date is superseded by that fullness. While perusing blogs this morning I read this repost by Cheryl on God's Grace and Mom's Alzheimers beginning… Continue reading Gratitude Sunday

Arsenic & Old Lace, Chocolate cake and a long arm
Debby Brown has a Handi Quilter Avante in her studio, and on occasion when needed she lets me use it to baste my larger quilts. Yesterday I basted two quilts Arsenic & Old Lace pieced by Keith Dommer and Supernova in Chartreuse designed by none other than Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero. A&O L has lived in… Continue reading Arsenic & Old Lace, Chocolate cake and a long arm
2017 Word of the Year
Quite frankly seeing the back of 2016 is something of a relief. 2016 has kind of kicked me in the shins repeatedly, been a bit of a bully, and needs to end. A friend from high school posted a link to a list of who passed away this year. Many I knew about, many I… Continue reading 2017 Word of the Year
. . . a time to tidy
Oh my goodness there is always a good time to tidy. Don't you always find that it's right in the middle of doing something else? Like 9 patches. I've been cutting up all these 9 patches, and the urge hit. No, no wait, no that's not it. Not the urge. No. The necessity of it all… Continue reading . . . a time to tidy
Quilting with Intention
Donna Morales-Oemig your fabric still speaks to my heart. Donna snow dyed a few pieces of Robert Kaufman's Radiance in the 2014/2015 winter when eastern Massachusetts got over 100 inches of snow. The perfect project came along, an idea with it and I started stitching. I haven't really quilted in a long time. Oh I've… Continue reading Quilting with Intention

Bucket List
https://www.instagram.com/p/BHS_9HPhdos/?taken-by=terilucas Imagination. So the other day I captured an intimate moment between a dog and a pig. I did try to turn away politely, not staring but it was so sweet that I had to capture the moment. The dog and the pig kissing was suggested by Kelly Ann, the fun-sized owner of Kelly Ann's… Continue reading Bucket List
Doing the (prep) Work, the next part
At some point in my quilting journey I knew that teaching was a next step. How did I know? Well, another quilter asked me one day, "Teri, when are you going to start teaching?" Well, I guess . . soon. It took me a bit, but I figured out that I wanted to teach machine… Continue reading Doing the (prep) Work, the next part
Moment of Gratitude, Tuesday style
Glorious Ever changing Sunset How do I love you? Richness Beauty Autumnal Light pouring forth There are moments of great beauty at end of day, as the earth spins on her axis "setting" the sun, and "raising" said sun somewhere out there. I'm grateful for sunsets. I'm grateful for 2 whole days of quilting later… Continue reading Moment of Gratitude, Tuesday style
