I quilt because there is a part of my soul that only speaks by piecing fabric together into a story without words

for me - Eight Point Star
2000 for me
I made this at a class at Thimble Pleasures (my favorite quilt shop, even if it's got a tragic name!) just for myself out of left over fabric I had from the spate of baby quilts I had made. It now lives in my living room
I started quilting in 1993 to welcome my god-daughter into this world. Since then quilting has become a creative and spiritual practice for me. If you'd like to understand how quilting is a spiritual exercise for me, see the posting in January 2009 called Pieces and Wholeness. Hope you enjoy.
