It’s easy, especially right now, to get caught up in some negative stuff. And when you work hard at a project, and everything seems to go wrong, it’s easy to want to give up. That’s what happened to me while I was making the Lemoyne ....

I am really a very organized person. I know where to find what I need. I could say, “A place for everything, and everything in its place,” only that is not quite exactly true.
While I am organized and I know where everything is, I can become someone who is consumed by stacks of this and that. Yes, I know what is in the stacks, but all those stacks are robbing energy from me.
When the space is clearer, so is my mind. When my mind is clear, I will work better.
I know this to be true. I also ...

read moreWell, it's been 10 years of quilty blogging! Funny how the very first post still holds true. Probably still be trying to talk to myself if it wasn't for all my blogging friends! Here's one of the first quilts that actually made it onto a post. I was super selective back in the early days, terrified of posting too many pics. It's an American Patchwork pattern that seemed pretty intimidating at the time. You know what that means, right? Yep. I was thrilled and feeling proud. Still hangs in my living room today!
I bet you can’t guess who sent this to me… If you guessed my mother, then you’d be correct. She alternates between, humor and heartwarming. But either way they all represent humans and/or animals creatively living their lives. I appreciate all of them. And then there’s this one, NOT sent by my mother, but she… Continue reading Love, Sewing Nests & Impatience
