I have always said that quilting is much more than fabric and thread, pattern and construction.
It’s about relationships.
The BEST part of what I do is the meeting people from all walks of life, all levels of experience and learning who they are as PEOPLE.
You might look at a room full of quilters and just see women, old and young – all wearing that same label QUILTER as if we are all the same. But we are SO different. Everyone has a story, everyone has past experiences that we can only imagine.
I love asking my ‘more mature” students what they did before they retired. The answers will surprise you! Lawyers, doctors, chemists, accountants, engineers, architects, nurses, teachers, designers, every kind of experience that you can imagine is in this one room gathered at this place in time. Wouldn’t it be great to bottle all of that life experience so we could draw from it?
Last night I spent a pleasant hour in the ballroom with 3 generations of women: Mother, daughter, and granddaughters who all came to spend a girls week over Mothers Day weekend and take in the needle art seminar together. The two granddaughters are 11 and 5. They spent time in my classroom this week while their mom was in my class and those girls were so well behaved.
We just danced and danced to big band music. So fun! I am heading home a happy woman for having my path cross that of others in these amazing places.
Thank you Needle Art Seminar, Thank you, Grand Hotel!
