  • My Hope.

    “ Without art, the crudeness of reality would make the world unbearable.”

      ~George Bernard Shaw

     

    I was reminded yesterday of my gift of quilted Ladies, and how they have slowly transpired into fun, expressive, alive, delightful works of Art. 

     

    How My Lady tentatively showed her shadow and silhouette, a tease of what was to come.

     

    She seems to beckon me forward, daring me to discover a much wider world.  And if she can dare, so can I!

    When life overwhelms me, when the future seems a jumbled mess, when I find myself lost in my reality, it is then I feel the greatest urge to quilt.

     

    I know who I am when I quilt, I feel connected and balanced as I toss about fabric, new colors and play with different poses, I am confident once again, in me.

     

    My lady has been an Artful companion that I lean upon as I wobble along.

     

    She brings comfort, courage, and a daring spirit when my own fails; she has opened up new doorways and has planted seeds for a brighter tomorrow. 

     

    I see my future self artfully displayed in a variety of poses, I see my spirit dancing with life, I see potential once again.

     

    Without my lady I would not have come this far, she has kept the Spirit of creativity within.  Between us a new energy flows. 

     

    Our latest adventure is a Juried Quilt show, “Art Quilts of the UP.”  Three lady quilts are off on a new experience, how exciting to be along for the ride.

     

    Thank you My Lady for gently leading me back to myself, for mirroring to me my wellness and my hope.

  • Sisters

    Three Sisters, three lives, three dreams, One Source.

    Each life has it's own path, unknown to all and maybe even her.

    Each life is filled with passions for things she wants to do.

    Each life has sorrows, failures and growth.

    Each life reaches towards dreams beyond her wildest hopes.

    The Source can change from time to time, depending on her lesson.

    Sometimes we love the things that hurt and hurt the things we love.

    Sometimes we lead and at times we follow, all with a loving heart.

    Sometimes we know, sometimes we don't  and times we need each other so.

    Sisters come in all shapes and sizes, some related some just feel connected to.

    Sisters, there isn't one perfect one, but one that fits our needs.

    May us sisters always find each other in our own truth and honesty.

    May we heal our wounds and celebrate all the pleasures on the way.

    May we always have one right near by just in case of need.

    I love the sisters of this world, all the broken, abused, happy, and sad, delighted, at peace, in trouble and at need.  I want you all to know there is no imperfect sister to be found.  A sister always fits with me.
