I do not comprehend how, through the years, I have become more like my mother. I do not hand-quilt, like her, but I have a beautiful long-arm quilting machine that nearly fills our modest living space. I quilt for my own enjoyment, for gifts and charity projects, as well as professionally for others.
My mother loved to write poetry, and sorry to say, I never quite appreciated her writing efforts, until I started taking writing classes myself. Writing is a talent, just like the artistry of quilting, that needs to be nurtured and developed. I have enjoyed writing and the challenge of using words to describe priceless memories and stories from my past. This blog is to share both - my quilts and my writing. I hope you enjoy.
