I remember looking up from the window in my quilt studio, grabbing the camera and taking a series of photos of this particular sunset. There is something about the color that intrigues me in an "I want to spend more time here" way. The beauty of this particular moment sustains, refreshes, and renews. I love… Continue reading Retreat

Someone asked and I finally figured it out
I shared this photo on fb, the inevitable question, "what are you going to do with the fabric?" cropped up. I ask that question myself of quilters and of myself. "I don't know" is a perfectly acceptable answer. As is, "I'm adding to my fabric stash" and "Who the heck knows, I just need it… Continue reading Someone asked and I finally figured it out

Learning Curve
One of my friends taught me how to ride a two wheeler when I was a kid. It was a red bicycle. I can see in my minds eye the struggle getting my feet on the pedals while balancing. I'd get one on, then try the other. The first foot would land on the sidewalk. I'd… Continue reading Learning Curve

Shortly after this I chose to limit the blog in favor of writing my book and trying to keep blogging commitments with Generation Q Magazine, after… Continue reading Focusing on the goal

The photo is from my instagram account while shoveling the snow yesterday. Yesterday was a snow day as my boss made the decision that the roads were too bad to travel. I spent the day writing for my book and shoveling on and off. The muscles in my upper body let me know, with no… Continue reading Finding Inspiration on an Icky Day

GenQ February Sew-In for Days for Girls
As I reread this post to edit and clarify what I wanted to say I remembered this youtube video. It makes me laugh and it makes a point. Sometimes there is TMI, however in this case helping young women be comfortable discussing their menstrual cycle, making sure there's good information available and that this is… Continue reading GenQ February Sew-In for Days for Girls

Thank you!
Waking up early has it's benefits. I'm sitting at my dining room table sipping coffee, looking out my kitchen window and watching a beautiful sunrise creep up over the trees and telephone wires. The winter colors are much more subtle than summer but beautiful and inspiring none the less. Color ranging from a light to… Continue reading Thank you!

Refreshed and renewed
One of the coolest things about working with and for Generation Q Magazine is working on the blog/book tours. I often read through books ahead of time and share some of the highlights. It's not always easy as there are some really good books out there. Books I would love every quilter to get for… Continue reading Refreshed and renewed

My dad was an Air Force photographer, his love of photography carried through the rest of his life. I've picked up a touch of his love for photography. One of my sisters… Continue reading Black and White challenge
