It is so inspiring and informative. Has given me back my desire to paint and draw. Your blog keeps me focused and in touch with you……….a true artist……both in mind and sprite.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

I wanted the quilt to be “her” so I used many small pieces of flowers, birds and animals printed on calico and made a repeating star pattern. From the normal distance it looks like multicolored pieced stars but up close you can see hidden animals, vegetables,flowers, and birds of all kinds used in every star point. There was even a pair of bare feet in the center of one. Kids love to find the hidden things, she loves it since it represents her so well and I loved making it for her – so fun to collect all the fabrics.Your post today reminded me of that quilt and the fun of looking deeper. I think that is my favorite part of your work – finding beauty everywhere like small treasures waiting to be uncovered.

This is a beautiful post. I absolutely agree with your observations that we are always surrounded by inspiration…yet we often get so bogged down with the craziness of life. I, too, make a consistent effort to “be in the moment” and appreciate all the wonderful beauty in this world.
Beth 🙂
