I M Perfect lady


Beyond Fabric!

I am not sure what I expected the Meet the Artist event to be like, but it was way cool….very nicely set up, flowers, cake and refreshments….with wonderful people milling about….surrounded by my quilts.  

Yet it wasn't about me….really or the Art specifically….or the journey of recovery….but about us all.  Each one brought something that made the night perfect.

I truly do love that many love and get my ladies and the message that seems to pour out of the seams….the way she speaks the language of the viewer…touching cords deep down within.

I saw old friends and surprise friends….and new ones yet to be.  I felt again the helpful caring nature of those who work for Copper Country Mental Health.  

I had a wonderful young lady sing me a song.  Yes, that's right…she sang for me.  It was a beautiful song about the Spirit in the Wind…the Spirit in the Earth and the magic, I believe, of the moon….and the Fire Within!  She will be sending me the right words…she said she viewed my ladies by the water….in nature and was inspired to sing to me.  

I feel that this is a debut for My lady….for there was talk about her going on the road.  And, she travels well….like a carpet roll!  How cool will that be.  To see where she goes and who she meets and the connections she will make….

Oh, and the local paper was there.  I do believe the reporter was quite taken with My Lady and the way she introduced herself to me….by secretly coming out in my Art. So, he said he was going to submit it to the paper for tomorrow….we will see.

It seemed the like the right and perfect place for her to be….gracing the walls of the place where so many go to seek the answers…and to even inspire those who are working with folks like me.

We all were in awe….My Lady and I….a journey that will go beyond fabric!

    I feel like I am witness to a true miracle. I have believed in Art for a very long time, but always nice to have that verified. It truly is poetry isn’t it. Earl

    Thanks Earl. It was surreal to be in the presence of my Art, knowing I wasn’t planning the Journey out in Fabric, but was merely doing quilting to escape, if you will, a life that didn’t make sense. And, then to find out years and months later, a story was being told in the quilts.
    I too agree that Art is magical, it speaks from the soul…poetry expressed in different modalities!
