Something shifted
In such an amazing way: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhcSii2DaPO/?taken-by=terilucas It all started with getting a Herculean task done. And then: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhcZRiCjbIN/?taken-by=terilucas A New Moon Rises https://www.instagram.com/p/BhccwjOjuxr/?taken-by=terilucas It's really difficult when Creativity ebbs, especially when it ebbs because of every day life. It's glorious when it returns. Rejoice with me quilters. I have ideas swirling in my head for… Continue reading Something shifted
August Block of the Month An Original
Technical difficulties sometimes present big problems. Other times they are opportunities for learning. Something went screwy a while back, causing something to happen to the version of Microsoft Office installed on my computer. I have an open source that I can use for documents, power point presentations, and graphics, it's simply not as intuitive as… Continue reading August Block of the Month An Original
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

As I stitched the facing on the quilt this afternoon a memory… Continue reading Inspired by
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. In a sense I've felt a little lost somewhat like Sam and Frodo trying to… Continue reading 2017 Word of the Year
Restorative Quilting
I haven't had much time to quilt lately. I will admit to being a wee bit cranky as a direct result. I wanted to finish this piece a while ago however, time just is taken up with the "must do this" list that quilting is set aside. The studio whispers my name as I walk… Continue reading Restorative Quilting
finding a happy place
Sometimes the happiest moments happen when you're least expecting it. I know something about myself that is lovely to admit, I love to quilt and I love to teach quilting. These are the things in my quilterly life that I've come to know. I love the challenge of learning how to do something and the… Continue reading finding a happy place
Quilt Work
These last few weeks have been very busy for me. I'm teaching Quilting 101 (piecing) and working on quilts that will end up in Houston. I've had the privilege of quilting for Jeanie Sumrall-Ajero of Kaleidoscope Collections. I quilted for her last year the quilt being part of the Favorite Projects Volume 2 cd. I'm… Continue reading Quilt Work
