worked on more infrastructure stitching on autoquiltography l today. funny how this quilt (and others to follow) came as what i call a flash image because it (they) appeared to me out of the blue and quicker than a wink. for the imagination quilt i’m working on, however, the materials came first. i’m just “transcribing” [...]

muscle memory is such a good thing. finally reacquainted with my sewing machine - the one i haven’t used in decades, the one with a bobbin in need of a refill.
but i could not remember how to wind the bobbin. until finally i told my brain to shush and turned the job over to my [...]

deciding to work with what i have in order to satisfy hands that are restless and itching to get moving (everything still in nc), began work on found crewel piece. no thinking, i said, just selecting, cutting, joining. the why’s, if there are any, will bubble to the surface in their own good time. here’s [...]

when i was growing up, as they say, my mother worked outside the home [...]

so there i am, devoting several hours to capturing my bits of information and ideas that i’ve accumulated over the years onto index cards. it’s the next stage in writing that book: card the bits, clump the bits, then string the bits together into a book. it’s been my method of choice since that 7th [...]

having a bit of a blueblah day here. left my sewing machine, fabrics, threads, and other creative fiber paraphernalia at j’underneath. was only going to be here for 2 busy, filled nights, so no need to haul it home.
then the plans changed, and we stayed.
had a rather lazy day today. phoebe (our corgi child) woke [...]

I’d lived in Ready for years.
I’ve been in Set for months.
Today I am in Go. Gogh. Gough.
Years ago, I had this image flash into my mind, and ever since then I’ve longed to quilt it. “Well, then why haven’t you?” you might very well ask, and the answer is “‘Cause.” Other people needed me - [...]
