We are so pleased to present
'Simple Things, Small Joys'
- filled with seven quilts & two home accessory designs - for you & your home.
When I think back on the
things that really have mattered in life. . . it’s the simple
things that have added up to the most joy.
I think that is why I love
quilting & needlework so much. . . the quiet simplicity in the act
of making them. . . as well as the great joy they bring. It’s not
always that every project may seem ‘easy’ -
but that is part of the
beauty & joy of quiltmaking - that in the breaking down of the
process. . . taking each step at a time. . . soon those steps add up to
a wonderful “work-of-heart”.
The learning of taking
things a step at a time are lessons that my Mom taught me from the time
I was small. I can remember when I first started to sew & I would
take on a little more than I thought I could handle, Mom would hear my
sighs of frustration & she would come in & encourage me to take
a breather - so that I could see it with “fresh eyes”, as she called
it. Sure enough, it was what I needed to be able to start again with my
“fresh eyes” & experience the joy of completing a project.
That has sprouted into our
‘little acorn’ philosophy, that “from little acorns - mighty oaks grow”
- to not only remind us to take things a step at a time, but also to
reach for our dreams. . . no matter how simple, no matter how small.
