what is sacred is the time you spend

What you produce is not necessarily sacred.

What is sacred is the time you spend working on the project, 

and what the time does to expand your imagination,

And what that expanded imagination does to transform your life.    Elizabeth Gilbert

I'm pleased to announce that Prayer To The Sky will be included in Quilt National 2021.  The exhibition is opening next month and preparations are underway.  One of the things is that last week, the director of the Dairy Barn asked me to answer several questions with videos.  Making selfie-videos is new for me, in fact it took my breath away but then I relaxed.  I'm sharing just a little clip about my fifty years of quilt making here for you dear readers.  The entire video will be ready next month and will be presented along with all the other artists' on the QN you tube channel.
