https://www.instagram.com/p/BFIIGs6Nvpv/?taken-by=terilucas It's hard to believe I've been home for 24 hours already arriving home late yesterday afternoon. My sweetie brought these in for me so I thought I'd share them around a bit. I got to have dinner with Claudia Pfeil and Laurie Tigner. And spend a little bit of time with Paula Reid. I've… Continue reading HMQS a brief

I have a blog written in my head
However, the words are not flowing as easily from my keyboard as they usually do. It's kind of weird. Usually the words flow from my brain to the keyboard, not so much this morning about the intended topic. Instead I sent a private message and included a photo. Getting this particular quilt top complete became… Continue reading I have a blog written in my head

The sky at dusk
The photo below is a morning sky. https://www.instagram.com/p/BBFQcA2Nvhn/?taken-by=terilucas The sky at dusk lately, oh that indigo/blue ombre sky, with deep gray stone of the buildings. As I stand at the bus stop on Madison these tall buildings and that sky...I keep thinking of quilts to make. It's making me wish for longer days. Or differently… Continue reading The sky at dusk

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

Coffee
Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. Coffee. One might think I have a love affair with coffee, and one would be right. I love me some good coffee from grinding the beans to sipping slowly as I wake up.

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

In a recent conversation with a friend we both had questions for one another. Most of her questions answered fairly easily. My question of her is something I know the answer to in several ways however I'll be asking for comments later.
