Graduates, Follow Your Passion!

Graduations are such happy times. The graduates are looking forward to the future, and the families are beaming with pride. All that hard work has finally paid off.

My prayer for every graduate is that you have the courage to follow your passion and your heart. Do not do something you hate just to please others. If you follow your passion, you will be successful.

I was 45 years old before I found my passion. I hope you find yours sooner.

Shown here is one of my "happy" quilts. It's called Inspiration.

Happy Mother's Day!

Those of you who still have your mothers with you are truly blessed. I hope that you are treasuring every moment.

The rest of us must be content to carry our mothers in our heart and to know that an angel in heaven considers us a special project.

Shown here is Evora's Earth, the quilt that got me through my early stages of grief. I make a point to touch it everyday.

Roses are Red Debuts May 5

Roses are Red will make its public debut in the Brown Sugar Stitchers quilt show May 5, 2007 at the Wesley Chapel Library in Decatur, GA. This is definitely a quilt that needs to be seen up close for it to be properly appreciated.

Roses are Red is large quilt measuring 74 x 94. It showcases a mixture of precise piecing and hand applique. The center of the quilt is comprised of 18 album blocks offset by solid white blocks. The white setting blocks contain the words love, hope and charity, but you must look very closely to see them. The center of the quilt is surrounded by a vine border that is appliqued by hand.

This quilt was made for my personal collection. It is sure to be hit with the Deltas of the world.
