2017 Word of the Year
well I guess I never decided on a 2016 word, or just kept the one from 2015: Journey. Something about keeping the same word seems full of continuity however, I've been looking for my word all year, not really finding it.

An Idea is Developing!
An idea is developing for this quilt and I'm really excited about it. The idea is similar to "Twilight in the Bronx" and "Moon Over Manhattan" with a little bit of a fun angle. I'm going to draft it out on paper and practice with some silk thread that I have from a couple of… Continue reading An Idea is Developing!
