I've started walking around the hotel parking lot while listening to Pokey Bolton's Instagram conversations with quilting peeps. Hotel parking lot you say? Why yes. The physical move from NY to TX is about 1/2 complete. We arrived in Texas on Thursday evening after four days on the road. While at one hotel I'd made… Continue reading Moving, a Journey

Imagine
The possibilities are endless, the potential is great, and I'm looking forward to figuring it out. Things are up in the air at the moment, and while there is nothing I can do about the up-in-the-airness of it all I can imagine, and dream. This is a reference to a potential home in Texas and… Continue reading Imagine
Connecting & Freeing Up
Connecting While perusing social media Debby Brown posted this link for ways to connect with one another while we are refraining from in-person contact.

Road tripping is always a delight. Road tripping with 3 friends is priceless. Our first stop: Ladyfingers Sewing in Oley PA. Well our first "stop" was Wegmans for provisions, ie chocolate and fruit.

Superior Kimono Silk
Here's a sneak peak of the Superior Kimono Silk I purchased for my next quilt. I've figured out that this will be the 3rd piece in the "Twilight in the Bronx" series.
