So here we are halfway through January and I feel halfway recovered from the holidays. Actually I’m pretty much caught up except I started to really clean my home office (translation = throw out junk) and it looks messier than ever. I picked up a couple of wheeled carts from Staples and they are proving to be very useful for storing all my specialty papers, labels etc.
OK, so here’s how I did on the holiday sewing/knitting prep. Most of the sewing got done; very little of the knitting. The cute hat for my great niece was finished but I did something weird and it’s not getting on anybody’s head – very tight carryover of color change yarn I think.
This is the tote bag that I made for Grandma Betty’s caregiver.
I’ll post photos of some of the other completed projects.

I first learned how to sew as a child on my mom’s old treadle Singer (and wish that I knew where that machine is now!) and am now in love with my Berninas.
While going to school, raising a family and enjoying two satisfying careers I continued developing my skills with all kinds of needlecrafts and eventually discovered the magic of quilting.
Soon I began to stretch my imagination and creativity. This led to an interest in art quilting and I've been busy soaking up all kinds of techniques and adapting them to my creations. Now, I find myself on a journey to uncover, develop and to express the inner artist that I have so joyfully let loose.
I have learned so many ways to create beauty in fiber and am eager to share this knowledge. I am in love with color - saturated vibrant color.
I have also learned that there truly are no "quilt police" when it comes to one's personal expression of creativity; no right or wrong way. It just has to feel right and look right to you.
it is all a voyage of discovery. I just can’t imagine doing anything else.”
Several of my quilts, both traditional and art quilts have been displayed at Quilting in the Valley in Northridge, California, Lefferts Historic House and the Audubon Society in New York City.
My work "Going Around in All the Best Circles" was juried into the Pacific International Quilt Show.
I have shown in both local Fine Art Galleries and in Quilt Shows across the United States.
I am the author of the blog: The Mystical Allure of All Things Fiber since 2007.
In recent years I have uncovered a passion for writing - especially poetry - as well and have a lot of it on http://minervaspirit.com
