Hearts Galore

I stayed up way too late last night working on this. It began life as a piece of deconstructive screen printed cloth that I stamped with textile paint. It's not quite finished. I need to add a bit more quilting and some hand stitched accents. It may also get another piece of blueish cloth somewhere on the right side.

Today looks like it will be a great Sunday. We're meeting some friends to go see a local theater production of The Odd Couple. This theater operates on a shoestring and features only actors from the local area. It is always a fun experience and costs about the same as seeing some overproduced Hollywood blockbuster movie.

Support your local arts!

Emerging

When I was in my early teens I had a teacher who believed I should pursue a writing career. While I do think I am able to turn a phrase or two once in awhile and have a fairly prolific vocabulary, to be a writer requires a tremendous amount of desire and passion. A task I didn't seem to be able to wrap my heart and soul around.

Be that as it may, I am very happy to announce that at this ripe old age I have become a published writer - albeit not fiction. The April/May issue of Quilting Arts magazine will feature an article I penned (with Melanie's editorial assistance http://my-croft.blogspot.com/ - thank you, my friend!) that highlights a couple of my art quilts and outlines the painting technique I use to create many of my art quilts.

One never, ever knows what paths this life will take us down.
