A long while

It seems eons since I last posted.  I did not disappear except in that time disappeared.  So many things have been happening.  There have been quilts coming into and out of the door and Hortense my long arm has been busy.  And I have taken time since the spring to also unwind and to focus on what is important in my life and one of those is deciding where to put my energy in addition to quilting. 

I am sure many of you have had those periods in your life when the 'you' the world sees is just perfect but the 'you' you live with is not quite there yet (in fact far off in the distance).  And I am also sure that many of you have developed goals and struggle to keep up. 

Well, I decided to stop struggling and refocus. 

So that leads into the reason for this post.  I am mostly alive again and working on several quilts of my own.  It is always to have something that is not intense and piecing provides that.  They all get finished eventually but the variety makes for interest capture in mind and soul.

And I joined a group who accept that I don't always do traditional quilting.  This group is located in the Annapolis Valley area of lovely Nova Scotia in Canada.  Quilting and fabric arts are alive and well in this area.  The group is called SOFAAR and here is a link to the site. SOFAAR  The group is young with a quite large membership representing multiple artistic endeavors with fibre.   The creativity in the group is so vital and alive.

This fall there are two events for SOFAAR members.  I happen to have something in both events.  Have a look at the posters below and if you are anywhere near either event, please come and see what our members can do.
