This is where you find me exploring a variety of creative adventures mostly about but not limited to quilting. I'm a firm believer that one increases their creativity by being open to and playing with a variety of cretative endeavors ... at least that my excuse for today.

Thank you for stopping by.

Let's face it - I'm a traditionalist at heart when it comes to my quilting. I can remember starting a one-patch charm clam shell quilt in the mid-70's. I'm not even sure where that particular UFO is any more. It may have been packed off in the ...
