“Love Your Mother” is a wonderful creation by Cornelia Gauger. It is 12″ x 12″ quilt and shows the Mother Goddess “hanging out” with Mother Earth and watching over all of us. I love the fact that ”Love Your Mother” is simple but says a lot. The fabric choices make it dynamic. The background is hand dyed fabric, the earth is Hand Marbled Fabric and the Goddess is Fairy Frost and adds just a little sparkle.

I like to provide inspiration for you. I continue to hear that you can’t bare to cut my Hand Marbled fabric. Here is a wonderful idea by Kathy McNeil. Silk and Sashiko These endangered cranes have a beautiful mating dance.
Take a closer look at the Cranes neck and the wing tips. The Black Hand Marbled Fabric adds depth, motion and texture. Kathy has a pattern for Dancing Cranes.

Our latest Featured Fabric is Scarlet in the Feathers Design. Last year about this time I had a very close encounter with a hummingbird. I wear a bright Red scarf on cold mornings and the hummingbird mistook me for a flower. I thought I was going to end up with another hole in my ear before we got unwound. Yep, I heard one of those hummers yesterday, the red scarf goes away until Fall.

It is snowing today and I have been viewing photos from friends that live in Hawaii. Yes, I have sunny warm skies and sandy beaches on my mind. I keep think about sundresses, flip-flops, warm breezes and birds singing. Therefore, my current Featured Fabric is Melon in the Freestyle Design, it’s light, fresh and sunny. Could some bring me one of those drinks with a little umbrella in it?

Just remember to breath. That is my current motto. I have been busy snow dying and hand marbling fabric. I love what I do and create. But means I can’t do other things and I start feeling guilty. Do you ever feel like that?
My mind keeps saying ”I want to create”, but it really means ”I want to create something with all of those wonderful fabrics”. If we could only have a 26 hour day.
