Pillow cases for my beautiful nieces' new bedrooms.  Love, fairies, applique and some stumpwork though
it's not that visible in the image.  An early work, but my early lesson in making to give away-so pleasing and a tangible and nearly permanent sense of presence, each stitch has my love in it-and all that singing that only my machine hears-but I find myself in praise of creation while I make my quilts and quilted goods. I wonder how many quilters belt it out to the humming of their machines.  After London and our visit to

 this wonderful show,  I have new material for my material madness.  Piece Out!
