the simplest little things make me happy. i've been enjoying embroidering words. while we watch tv. or when i'm visiting with friends. or tired and restless and need to re-focus. that's when i reach for my little drawstring bag of round frames. with a box of colored silk. and linen. i feel a little grandmotherly. that's a good thing. i like touching my wise and relaxed and gentle side.
I need to start doing that!!! I began a piece of embroidery for my daughter before she was born back in 2003..., I haven't finished it yet.... neither have I even started her baby brother's...
the quilts i make blend a grandmother's ideals with a fresh youthful flair. there is a nostalgia for seasons past combined with hopefulness for a bright full future. I write little stories in my mind as I make the quilts. sometimes they become actual stories. and sometimes I share them here.
