How does the time move so quickly? I joke, that I am still looking for June of 2017. And here we are closing in on January 2020. I actually like this date. Easy to remember and easy to write. Let’s see just how well I do remember it next week.

I started and finished 2019 with a big commission. I was hired to create 6 wall quilts for a man that is married to my friend. His first wife had passed away and he wanted wall art made from her clothes to give as gifts to family and friends.He gave me a bit of guidance, but only with written comments regarding the relationship they each shared with her. Thankfully the client allowed me creative freedom with only a few requests. It would take me several months to dismantle the clothing and finalize design ideas. I never met this woman, but came to know her from the clothing. Once started, the ideas would flow. Other projects and a few short vacations were fit in-between this commission. and I am happy to report that they were received with glee , tears and much appreciation. I’ll do this again if asked. Here are two of the five completed to date.
