The Sewing Room

Today I find myself longing to release the creative talents God has given me. I'm winding my way through the hallway, great-room and kitchen, finally reaching the staircase that leads to my sewing room. It is in this room that I find a venue of release, satisfaction and inner healing while piecing together quilts that bring warmth to a person's body and hopefully when the person or persons they are intended for receive them they will also sense a warmth and comfort from the prayers that are generated as I sew.

My maternal grandmother, who has long since passed on, instilled in me at the age of 8 the desire to do what many people have come to know as crazy patch quilting. From this early interest I began to enjoy creating with fabric. I have branched out to aquire a rather lucrative amount of quilting books and fabric. I even joined the Yellowstone Valley Quilter's Guild a few years ago. I no longer am a member; however, I cherish the time and talents passed on to me by many veteran quilters.

It is on days such as today and many more like it when you knock
on the castle door I will be found in one of my most desirable and
favorite rooms. I would be very pleased to show you around and teach you any number of quilting techniques you might want to learn. To me it is in the sharing, giving, and passing along to others that Love is truly given a chance to grow.
I bid you that choose to leave..goodbye..those who wish to remain
Let's let the creative juices and prayers flow as together we begin to sew.
