I M Perfect lady

A few years back, Susan Boyle made a splash in the world, when she began to sing; such an unlikely sound coming from this average looking woman…as my quilts are hung in public, it feels like the complete opposite of Susan Boyle….I am an average looking woman, and coming from me…is the articulation of what, for generations, has been kept in the dark.  The family secrets.

It is one thing to sorta know what lives in the darkness, and quite another to have access to the inner workings of an adult child, working her way through sexual abuse….into recovery. The feelings and actual movement or dance of being estranged from a family of 14.  

I feel like I am about to sing in public, and the words will be awful…that instead of applause, I will get booed off the stage.  

I never wrote or quilted for an audience.  I did it to fight my way into peace, love and joy.  And, in order to find this love, joy and peace, I had to walk away from abusive relationships or ones that were no longer working with my authentic stride to wellness.

And, I believe in me and my Lady quilts and my journey.  What I have not had was public scrutiny and I feel vulnerable and open and exposed.

That being said.  I am very proud that my Ladies are out and standing proud….a reflection of Me.
