Last night on our way to Church for the Mass of the Lord's supper I needed to stop by the front door as I realized as I climbed into the car that I'd left my phone, where my e-reader is, on the table. On the door handle is a package of Pirates Booty popcorn hanging … Continue reading Good God, it’s Friday!

Holy Week
It's happened often enough that I miss it that when I'm quilting I lose all sense of what's around me, focusing in on what I'm doing, what's happening under the needle that there is such a freedom and quiet in my head, it's sublimely sweet. I've been in that space in prayer once that I … Continue reading Holy Week

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

Oh that sweet, somewhat musty scent of oldish wood, delicately balanced with … Continue reading Chocolate Cake

Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 38: Come Holy Spirit
Every now and again I go through these periods of time when I experience deeply negative thoughts on repeat like an old vinyl reacord skipping.
