So many things have changed since last posted in this Blog.  Most significant has been the sudden loss of my husband in May of 2019.  We had been together for 50 years with the last 5 in retirement.  I don't know about other retirees but we stayed busy  on the farm and caring for elderly parents as well as quilting together and planning for travel.  Suddenly, instantly, horribly every thing changed.  I have spent so many hours since then working through his loss and what I want for my life now.  I have my sons and extended family and the most loving friends who have been so supportive whenever and whatever I need.   I have traveled a bit and have tons of images to weed through and publish.  Also, I QUILT!!   All aspects from start to finish including hand dyeing fabrics.  I have new goals: to photograph and publish quilts of all kinds, mine and others, including those of my students.  If you need quilting, custom designs or lessons, contact me at [email protected].  I  love to share my passion!

For the future, I hope to keep my life simple and productive.  Please understand that I am thankful for all the many fortunes in my life!
