This deserves a good title but I don’t know what
When I'm on a deadline or really deeply into machine quilting I watch, and by watch I mean have playing in the background, The Lord of the Rings Trilogy - the extended versions. I have two due dates coming up fairly quickly so it's been on for hours. I'm flitting back and forth between my … Continue reading This deserves a good title but I don’t know what
Of Lavender Skies
Before I dig into that which is on my heart this morning I bring you Jen Fulwiler talking about the Hallow App. She is hilarious and this is, by far, one of the best promotions for product I've seen in a long time. The app itself is cool too. https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3flHVJFEW/ The Front Porch. Of all … Continue reading Of Lavender Skies
It’s Not All About Me
Like so many others who quilt or create there is a strange dichotomy lived wherein I want to both hide under the table and never have my work seen until I am a posthumous hit; but also have my work seen as though I'm dancing through a torrential storm with great glee, face up, pelleted … Continue reading It’s Not All About Me
Morning Reading
I had a terrible thing happen over the last two days. I FINISHED two books. Finishing a book is a terrible thing indeed. It's almost as though this new friend has stopped walking and talking with you. This all happened just before the sunrise this morning. How ever will I continue on with this day, … Continue reading Morning Reading

The temps and humidity level are simply delightful, and the coffee tastes so much better As usual I'm flitting between three books, and am about to … Continue reading Retreat Coming Soon
An Oddly Titled Faith in Quilting Post
Good morning friends, it's been a while. Whew. My head is overfull of ideas and sometimes that makes it hard to get anything done. Seriously. I'd like to share with you an interview with Quilter on Fire. Brandy is a wonderful interviewer. I'm a quilter. Quilting, creativity is as much a part of my being … Continue reading An Oddly Titled Faith in Quilting Post
Chocolate Cake
The room, once a cafeteria filled with the smells of good food, and the laughter and conversation of people from all over the area on a spiritual pilgrimage, now filled with the books and other items too long on the gift shop shelves. Oh that sweet, somewhat musty scent of oldish wood, delicately balanced with … Continue reading Chocolate Cake
Making Space
Pre-Mass reading the last few weeks is Hallie Lord's Falling Home. I met a young mother named Maggie at a conference I spoke at recently. Maggie felt frustrated by the fact that God was not allowing her to use her artistic gifts during this season of her life. She couldn't understand why he had given … Continue reading Making Space
