| Introduction | Quilter, teacher, student, nurse, mom, wife, daughter, friend...not in that order! Quilting really is the journey & the destination for creative expression and enjoyment. Don't seem to get enough of it! Finishing is optional LOL! (or at least not the ultimate goal). I admire those quilters who have made so many quilts. Instead I savor envisioning of the quilt, the design, auditioning of fabrics and arrangements. The challenge of figuring out what fabric or element or design direction will the quilt go next... This also means that I get nowhere fast. And it challenges me to find just the right "look" or "feeling" from the item in progress...dig through my stash. This leads me to the love of hand applique and also "blended" quilts and design. It's about these elements and pushing outside the box. That means sometimes using "ugly" fabric pieces to make a beautiful whole and starting on a project like Baltimore blocks...without any end in sight or in mind at the time. The journey is my destination. I'm just a 50-something (it keeps changing!) mom, wife, RN, teacher, student, child of God...the basic story. |

| Favorite Books | Currently beside my bed is the Bible. Otherwise, I mostly like the kind of book I can "read" with my ears! This way I can drive, work, or walk or do something else while "reading"). Here's a hint on some favs...How has Maleldil made you older today? Others... Baltimore and vintage quilt and pattern books. Also, "Reading Lolita in Tehran" was great! and books that open up understanding about other people and places and ways of life. |
