Just before Mass began I grabbed my phone to look up the patron saint of writers. Just made it. Phone back in pocket, write a note to myself, then get on with the business of being present at Mass. Today was the day to be distracted by every random thought. I'd start "writing" then come … Continue reading Write

A song in the head is worth
Waking up with a song in my head is something of a frequent occurrence that often leads to a faith in quilting connection. It's been a little while since this is happened and the connection is a little elusive.
