Liberated Quilting
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9v5yjxoQ1M It's 5:22 AM and it's dark outside. Just a few weeks ago this was not so. Just a few weeks ago it was bright. The light change signifies that Autumn is clearly on its way; with glorious color adorning trees and ground alike. This quilter is ready! In a recent email I wrote, "make … Continue reading Liberated Quilting
Good and perfect gifts
God has a sense of humor. I'm sitting in my living room, watching the Yankee game, minding my own business when, "every good and perfect gift" floats through my mind.

The spirituality of quilt making
This article, Building Spiritual Capital, appeared in the New York Times several weeks ago. At the time I remember reading it, being moved to tears thinking, "Yes!" way to go grandma. Then in true quilterly fashion thinking of the spirituality of quilt making. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8ful0cmPNQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1m_sWJQm2fs This morning I heard both of these songs one right … Continue reading The spirituality of quilt making
Grazie, Signore
" Amadeus was a remarkable film centered on two powerful and contrasting figures: Antonio Salieri, court composer to the Austrian emperor, and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, a brash and conceited young genius. "Someone described his life as wine, women, and song. And he didn't sing much." The limited, uninspired Salieri lives with a raging jealousy for … Continue reading Grazie, Signore
