In March, 2009, I started a podcast about quilting on a whim, and just for fun, and in honor and memory of my Mom who taught me to quilt in the first place.  It's entitled, "Quilting...for the Rest of Us." My lead-in is that I am not an expert--I've never published, shown, or taught. I just love to quilt.  To be honest, I had no expectations when I started. I hadn't thought that far ahead. So imagine my surprise that people actually started listening! It has become ever so much more than I even began to conceive that it would. I've "met" so many great, interesting people in my listeners, and received some wonderful support and advice. It does actually feel like it's become a community. It's been so much fun!

What are your favorite hobbies?
Besides quilting...which is not a hobby but more a way of life...I love photography, the written word, and generally anything that has to do with the computer.
Who are your favorite artists and why do they inspire you?
Truly, people who make art with very little. I'm thinking of the refugees from Burma that I have watched weaving on backstrap looms they have rigged up in small apartments in the city that somewhat approximates what they had back home. Their looms are made from flour bags, broken chair legs, and duct tape. But they turn out absolutely gorgeous work. They inspire me--and they make me humble.
What brings you to The Hive?  What can we help you with?
A friend recommended it, and I look forward to being inspired. My boundaries may even get pushed.
