it's astounding how easily one can stagnate.  even while i worked away happily and creatively.  i didn't realize how stuck i was.  that trying to make all manner of items to fill a shop was draining my talents. but finally beginning the process of streamlining my work has uncovered and strengthened much in me.  and i love it.  as i work now, the quilts are shifting and growing.  each one with a fuller, broader and truer story.  a personality like mine that can get lost in work can forget to take the time to grow.  and now i feel the growth every day.  i feel the meaning.  i feel the certainty and the fullness pouring into the spirit of the quilt. this quilt is listed in my shop

the studio is a busy and a messy place.  but we have finally put our heads together, krista and i, and starting next week, we will have weekly hours as follows....

wednesday to friday 11 - 6
weekends and any other time by appointment.  
(i'm almost always at the studio or next door, so an appointment is no imposition).
and we will continue to have our weekend events that i'll let you know about in advance.
