read moreYes, I did it ..... started another project. You would think that squirrels hibernate during winter ..... but no, they do not and they stopped by and had a few chats with me! LOL
It all started with cleaning out some piles of fabrics and papers and that is when I saw this pattern and knew that it just had to be made.
What got me started on this squirrel was a need for a couple more small wall quilts to go with my February red/neutral quilts. My bins of red fabrics and my neutral/red fabrics were a tad overflowing ...
read moreOh my, how I enjoyed designing and making this quilt. After doodling around on EQ7, that wavy border just had to be made and something EPP would make this a perfect take-along project.

read moreThe most magical times in my life have been those moments when I met someone and the connection was instantaneous or they did or said something that was particularly moving and memorable. Likewise there have been places that felt magical, like some sort of spiritual vortex, inexplicable, yet utterly unique and beautiful. And there are… Continue reading The Magic of an Encounter
read moreI’m not sleeping much these days. The up-side is I’m getting a ton of stuff done. Also, photographs of empty New York City streets, though eerie, have a certain grace to them. I only venture out every few days, but when I do, I’m struck by the same things: the exquisite beauty of New York… Continue reading Courage is not the Absence of Fear…
