Have you ever tried to mess with the HTML in the background of your website? I don't seem to be able to get anywhere with designing it. I know just enough to get myself into trouble and not enough to get myself out!!!

_I find patterns very difficult to follow, so I look at something and figure my own way of putting it together. This has led me down some interesting paths and taught me some hard lessons. I have discovered that I live and breathe quilts. I see patterns everywhere and constantly break them down into simple pieces. I go everywhere with my camera and have piles of magazine cut outs all over the place. Sketches on graph paper await my return. I go to sleep with ideas and wake up with others. I am somewhat obsessed, but it is a quiet obsession. I don't talk about them all the time, I work on them every time I have space. My studio can go empty for days and then one day it will look like a bomb dropped piles of fabric all over the place.
Such is the life of this quilter.

This is a new day for me. I'm being dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming. Not TOO loudly for fear I may make myself known and how terrifying would that be!? And yet, with a great deal of excitement and anticipation for what may come.

This blog is my Brave New World. I am both intrigued and terrified at what may be in store, mostly fearful of how much time will be spent NOT in front of the sewing machine. I thought I'd give it a whirl and see what comes.

I have many passions in my life, most of which have something to do with my hands or teaching with my hands. I cannot fathom boredom............
