I am a healthy person, as far as I know, but creating my pieces feels so good to my soul.<br /><br />I have always wanted to try and learn how to paint. I have never painted, however, I use my fabric as my paint to make my photo art quilts.<br /><br />I would love to own one of your ATC's. If you would like one from me, just let me know. <br /><br />This is my first visit to your blog and I will go back and read more.<br /><br />Diana Bracy<br />DianasArtQuilts.etsy.comDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01037877197096850676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689345641880043332.post-60713952462849030262009-08-21T18:44:57.431-07:002009-08-21T18:44:57.431-07:00Dawn

We're in a similar situation and you're absolutely right, the art on the walls help. They seem to give us a place to 'go' when we can't stand being where we are. <br /><br />DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18419344655830579965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689345641880043332.post-30050731599696263842009-08-21T03:53:43.803-07:002009-08-21T03:53:43.803-07:00Lorri- I loved this post- and am touched that thos...Lorri- I loved this post- and am touched that those quilts at Duke brought you some comfort during troubling times. My daughter works in oncology at Duke- perhaps you met her? Megan Buchanan... anyway- fiber gives us a comfort that paper and pencil can't- it begs to be touched and explored. And offers fellowship and a tactile uplifting...

I've always been drawn to painting & sketching, but making art quilts gives me another high. I love the freedom to place what my eyes and hands want to see and feel. As you know, I completely handstitch all my art quilts and that gives me another sensation to it all. I love your art quilts too and you do not need to send me one either. I enjoy coming to visit and commenting wheneven possible. Have a wonderful week sweetie!<br /><br />Creative Blessings,<br />Lisa :)Lisa Lectura Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767087922205455204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689345641880043332.post-85483501633955230272009-08-09T19:17:33.422-07:002009-08-09T19:17:33.422-07:00Judy thanks I feel the same way ...for me not to c...Judy thanks I feel the same way ...for me not to create especially now that I have had the time to ....really concentrate on it for awhile and get it to where it may be able to support me is amazing...keep creating <br /><br />Blessings to youLorri Lee Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14269853324575407559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8689345641880043332.post-84787045523876451992009-08-09T19:15:43.558-07:002009-08-09T19:15:43.558-07:00Dear Juliet

Usually there is an emotion or a story behind the quilt, which may or may not be visible to others, but I know it's there.<br /><br /><br />JudyJudy Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05385157214040672620noreply@blogger.com
