are serious. There are a lot of questions running through my brain like: when will I quilt again? This one is serious - dry spells suck, particularly after this microburst of creative energy. Whew. In eight years will modern quilting be called Mid Century Modern? Well, no because of the timing it's not mid-century.… Continue reading All the started posts

Blogging world and office dreaming
Over the last few years my blogging world has changed, or more to the point the blogging world has changed, its not a good or a bad thing it just happens.

Planning the Quilting part 2.2
When I first started quilting I thought and thought about the motifs. At the time I was "limited" by my perception of quilt making, the love of straight lines and the motifs the local quilt shops.

I’m going to tell on myself
I tend to leave for work at "just the right moment". I leave just enough time to get coffee on my way in the door.

I've used this fabric in a number of quilts including the quilt posted below that I made for my husband years ago. Over the last several weeks I've been thinking… Continue reading Kona Black

I’m a bad influence
Two different people said this to me this week. I cracked up both times. At the quilt shop where I work we're having a sale this week. Susan dropped by, while I was there, to pick up a few things for herself and a few of her students. Because we're friends and Susan is very… Continue reading I’m a bad influence

I broke the only part that doesn’t have a part number
During the summer of 1988 I worked in Nichols department store as a cashier. I needed to work for three months leading up to my first year of volunteer work in Georgia. Somehow I got the first job I applied for, they needed a cashier and I had experience, though I still had a lot… Continue reading I broke the only part that doesn’t have a part number
