Yesterday I was 25, looking forward to a life full of excitement, love and challenges.
I got the love — Oh my. I got the excitement —Oh yes.
And, I had some challenges along the way. Yes, I did.
Today I am older, still trying to be wiser. And this I know: life is short.
So, I will reach for my loved ones. Read the good books. Fill my mind with art and nature.
And stitch untilI sleep.
Wishing you all a healthy, peaceful and creative new year.
I finished Many Moons this week. It’s an assemblage of cut up quilts and outliers. Taken as a whole it speaks to my sense of the mysterious. The stitch work is intuitive, experimental and rowdy. Once again I am captivated by the way the back speaks a different language.
Yes, it feels done now.
