When there is time

When there is time I like to tell a story and my medium is quilts.   Over the year my stories just grew.  I have posted this original in 2011 but would like to give you a glimpse of what happened in the mean time.  

After the passing of our eldest son five years ago I made the first one.  A sort of memory ... or perhaps it started as something to keep my going. Now every one tells a story of our family.  It is a part of us. 

Worn jean, red heart made from a little chair that was re-upholstered. 

I do not go on any road trip without stopping somewhere to purchase a piece of cloth.

To create one is a "battle" . . . I cut perfect and not so perfect pieces in the 30cm blocks and then when there is 72 blocks the process can begin.  

Little keys add a bit of history 

Some charm from Graphic Fairy 

The kittens was a piece of  cloth used for pillows when the boys were still toddlers. 

The story quilts are every where in our home and else where.  

Thanks for visiting 

Lots of love

Blue . . . there is no blue without yellow . . .

Blue is everywhere 

Little blue for happiness 

Plates of joy all in blue 

All in blue

Blue patterns all telling their own stories 

Where time stood still

Stories of far far places 

Blue is always there 

Thanks for visiting

Sandstone, Stairs and the Attic

We had to rebuilt the stairs to our Attic Room

The sandstone blocks were so heavy and it took some time to built.

The waiting  . . . .  it was worth it.

We hope to see you all soon

The end of summer

These little flowers grow wild in the fields in and around our town

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone. So if you're feeling uncomfortable right now, know that the change taking place in your life is a beginning, not an ending.

May the new season be kind to you all
