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

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. Please allow me to assure you this is wholly unpleasant, bleeds into other areas of my life, and is the cause of the prayer, "Lord take this from me, please!" … Continue reading Forty Days of Prayer for Quilters Day 38: Come Holy Spirit
