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

Depending on where you look for the definition I might be an artist...one of the definitions at Merriam Webster is, "one who is adept at something". In that case then yes I am an artist. I can quilt. Artistry certainly dwells richly in… Continue reading Are you an artist?
