love never dies... it can change but if you ever loved, it's still there in your heart 

I just sewed them together... and then decided to finish the edges, using piping and a turned seam. I had some red piping the right size in my scrap box, and glue basted it in place

trimmed, and sewed the backing to this using the zipper foot and going slowly. Leaving a small space to turn ...

 As a young woman, I dated a musician ... he played guitar in a band and sang beautifully. 

 I sat at the girlfriend's table  as the band played. He also played music for me at home, wrote songs for me and eventually said he loved me.,.. then asked me to marry him.

we didn't match however and it taught me the lesson that love is not enough... it is all good, I still hold memories of my time with him and am grateful. I am ...

to a bossa nova beat... I love how singers put their artistic spin on music!

I have a lovely memory of an evening spent watching an old movie on our big tv set... the parents were away and Tatee, my caretaker my safe and loving space, was dozing in a chair next to me. I sat enthralled as a young child, learning what romance was. The movie and title song stuck with me and I sang it often ...

Back in the spring our daughter-in-law's father asked me if I could help him; he wanted to make a quilt to give to his wife to commemorate the 50th anniversary of their first date. Naturally, the first question I asked was "when's the anniversary?" He told me that it was in mid-November. "Sure", I said, "there's plenty of time, be thinking about what you'd like, design-wise". Since then, off and

Every now and then it hits me. She’s gone. I will never see her again. I will never hold her hand with those arthritic knuckles that made them resemble gnarled tree branches, misshapen and yet beautiful. I will never get another email from her containing silly videos or stories or photos and it is during […]

When COVID hit New York City over a year ago now, death was no longer an abstract idea. People we knew were getting really, really sick, a few of them died, a few are still not 100%. When the mobil morgue parked just blocks away from our building to handle the overflow of dead bodies, […]

You may remember that I began this perennial garden, located just outside of my sewing room, two years ago. I've had some good luck, some bad luck and have learned a TON along the way! So, two years later, I have a lovely and peaceful space that is filling in and providing much enjoyment. I have moved, dug up and transplanted many things, all part of the learning curve. I'm rewarded with the

When I was nine years old my father had a horseback riding accident, broke his back and almost died. He never fully recovered. Flashes of disparate memories are all I have left from that time. The beautiful gold cat pin my grandmother gave me with an emerald belly, ruby eyes and when I lost it… Continue reading Our Nation Under Attack

When I was young, on December 24th we had a special Christmas eve dinner and then we would open our Christmas presents under the Christmas tree. If we were visiting my grandmother at her house in Colorado, we did the same. The only difference was that she had live candles on her tree and no… Continue reading Merry Christmas!
