Gallimaufry is defined as a hodgepodge, a mixed up jumble of stuff. This is an apt descriptor for my style of free motion machine quilting. Thread color, weight, and motif changes happen without a whole lot of forethought or planning.

Just as there is no obligation to make every quilt that goes through my head, there is no obligation to publish every thought that fills … Continue reading Wasting time

Imperfection Rocks!
the perfect berry crumble - Lisa Leonard Quilty, political, faith words run though my head at this moment.

Quilty words because so much I long for quilters to understand that "perfection is a lie". … Continue reading Imperfection Rocks!
The gift of knowing
There are words stuck in between the ears waiting to spill out from the brain to the keyboard. As I read a blog on perspective so many thoughts wanting to spill out onto the page. Thoughts of a friend who is no longer part of the quilting world. Thoughts of newly minted quilters who judge their … Continue reading The gift of knowing
