I just wanted to let you know that your lovely quilt, The 1776 Quilt: Heartache, Heritage and Happiness, did very well on its journey to Nebraska.

Journaling with fabric and sensational stitching.
I know I’m preaching to the converted but I’m artists with attitude and I just love the unpredictability of creating with textiles. The refining of the process comes with a little experience and the imprint of practice. Then again, you can never be certain of the finished project. So I just begin.
On the fourth day of Christmas, Pam had a hiccup.
thought I would write on the blog tonight and let you know just what it is like to be a member of Pam’s entourage.

The irony of it all. – Quilters and weavers.
I’m about to leave for our local Guild meeting. The Quilters Guild of South Australia. There will probably be 200 people there.

Faces of Guatemala
