The prayer quilt we were working on has been finished. Besides the three of us who worked on assembling it, others participating in tying it and, with each tie, in raising prayers for the life of this special child. Even one of my sons, which was very moving for me. And my mom. And my daughter. Which makes sense because they walk with me through life. And my special friends. And I think this is just the beginning, as there will be more of these quilts to make and share with others in need.
I am a self-learner. I taught myself to sew and to quilt. And I taught myself how to draw. I am learning how to dye my own fabrics and am dabbling with mixed media. I am a quilt designer and teacher, and design and publish my own line of quilt patterns. With this blog I would like to share the bits and pieces of my life.
