I have exactly zero pictures from this but good memories. I arrived home last night with some really delightful memories, some affirmed insight and with a deeper appreciation for how Our Father, through the gift of the Holy Spirit leads us. Saturday I flew out to California for a guild gig. My friend picked me … Continue reading A wee bit Giddy

Flip the Script
quilted on a Handi Quilter Avante, thanks Lori! Did you know that I can literally flip the script? I can write backwards. I can also write with my non-dominant hand. It's not pretty but I can do it I can sign my name if necessary, somehow the script is better than printing. Go figure. The … Continue reading Flip the Script
What do you do with that
Alt title: On Being a Hot Mess In my kitchen are a gaggle of suitcases, two full with the accoutrement necessary for an upcoming teaching gig and a third waiting to be filled with things like my computer, and all that other stuff one needs when traveling. I'm bringing the color wheels, and so many … Continue reading What do you do with that
When the Blaze Becomes Intense, but it’s not what I thought
Over on TerifiCreations I've mentioned that I'd love to spend a day writing sensational, click-bait style headlines both for fun and the creative exercise it is. If I actually did this it would over time become part of the lexicon of my brain. I need to plan this day sometime soon for in and of … Continue reading When the Blaze Becomes Intense, but it’s not what I thought

I'm still working my way through St. Francis de Sales Introduction to the Devout Life, sometimes I pause the reading because I need to think and … Continue reading A different look
Getting Unstuck
If you read TerifiCreations I shared a lot about Get Unstuck with Jen Fulwiler. The thing that was hardest for me but proved the most beautiful was accepting and asking for help. Even before Get Unstuck I'd made the decision to make a class this last week even knowing that I'd be taking two days … Continue reading Getting Unstuck
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
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
