Last weekend I took part in a virtual class taught by Aisha Lumumba. I was just going to be there as the zoom moderator. I wasn’t going to take the class. But because the numbers were low and I needed to exercise my creative muscles I decided why not. I enjoyed looking at my scraps in different ways. I enjoyed manipulating pieces and allowing them to come together and to make one art piece. Aisha passed on some of her creative wisdom and insight. Sometimes you just gotta sit and acknowledge that blessings are there for you and allow the blessings to flow over you.

Scrappy Lady “Blessed “

Atlanta Quilt Festival

While in Atlanta for the Atlanta Quilt Festival, I was asked to speak about the "Church Lady" exhibit that I curated. Watch the entire opening ceremony but, I'm on at about 31:45.

This was one of those "do it scared" moments in my life.

Day One

 Rhonda and I arrived in Atlanta, GA, for the Atlanta Quilt Festival. Shortly after arriving, we stumbled upon one of the "Old Lady Gang" restaurants for a meal. There was a line down the sidewalk to get in, and a long line is, in my book is a sign that the food is good. I admit I didn't know what the draw to this establishment was. As I so often do, I asked the young men in front of us why the long line? I was then reminded that several of the owners are tied to the Housewives of Atlanta TV show. Most of the diners around us were first-timers. Yes, I asked! Two of them were Kappas from Dallas, in town to bury a brother. We engaged in conversations ranging from growing up in Texas to the education system and, of course, Covid-19. We all enjoyed our meals. I'd have to re-visit the restaurant when I wasn't famished to give them a true rating. Perhaps on my next visit.
