On the last day of 2007 I discovered this: The Miniature Earth I should have picked it up a few weeks ago but it got past me. I’m not very diligent about reading all my emails – especially those that come regularly. Perhaps it’s appropriate that I found it today. Food for thought to [...]

I’m hoping that there are some readers out there who may have some opinions they would share with me. As regular readers will know I have been taking online classes on a regular basis at the Quilt University. I have taken some excellent classes and had some excellent teachers, but I am finding it [...] Although I enjoyed making my last quilt and think it turned out better than ever (photos coming soon) I also asked myself why I was doing all this.

Instead I’ve been doing an exercise from the book “The Visual Dance” by Joen Wolfrom. I [...] I recently read a post on sharonb’s blog about why she blogs. I also read the entry by Heather James on whipup that had caused sharonb to write hers. Both were interesting and got me thinking about what I wanted to do with my blog. Originally I had thought it should just be about [...] Look to this day: For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course lie all the verities and realities of your existence. The bliss of growth, the glory of action, the splendour of achievement are but experiences of time. For yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a [...] |
