Don’t go chasing waterfalls.
I was dyeing to try it.
The colors are delicate and will work well in the project I had in mind. It was a fun project.
When the woman you live with is an artist, every day is a surprise.
Those of you who follow my blog are aware that I use the time traveling to design, write, think and create connections between my journal at my destination and my studio at home.

My Gift the 1776 Quilt, Heartache, Heritage and Happiness.
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.

Well, I guess we all see beauty and use in the things that interest us. My favourite quilt find is a very old quilt filled with raw cotton and made from bright orange fabric and feed sacks. I actually put a new border of vintage feed sacks on it to make it last just a little longer. I sit under it every day. Maybe I am blind, but I adore that old quilt.
