Sometimes social media reminds me of ''a time when..." something amazing was born from something difficult. Scrolling through my news feed this morning a reminder popped up of a time when as a quilting community we posted regularly on the beauty of other people in the quilting community. I especially appreciated Kim Brunner's thoughtful posts… Continue reading Reminded of a Time When

Gratitude Sunday
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 These last two weeks have been full and thinking about this particular date is superseded by that fullness.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

Perfectly normal, I tell ya. So why no sewing? My brother and I made plans to meet for lunch on Friday.… Continue reading The Whoopie Pies were good and then

Character Builder: Enjoying my Work
Every time I look at this piece of dupioni I see a dancer, depending on the distance sometimes there are two. 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

So I started this post the other day, having something on my mind that "she said." I'm fairly certain it was good and funny because I'm kinda hilarious like that.

Exercising Creativity
https://www.instagram.com/p/BISqd6Mh6Sj/?taken-by=terilucas I spent the weekend with my sisters, and cousins. The place we were staying in upstate NY was out of range for the my cell provider, and the house we rented didn't have wi-fi. For a person who works social media as part of her job being without internet access was really challenging. Really… Continue reading Exercising Creativity

Quilterati
I'm not usually at a loss for words related to quilting for this blog. I'm not really at a loss at the moment it's just that the quilting world as it is in my life at this moment is refocusing and I'm slowly wending my way around the quilting world as it is for me… Continue reading Quilterati
