Giving credit where credit is due

Last month, a thing of beauty sailed into my life ...



written about here by Jude Hill ...

And as I walked about the International Quilt Festival in Houston this past weekend, over and over again I said the words, "I always considered myself a needleworker. Because of Jude Hill, I now consider myself a quilter, too."

Because of Jude Hill, I knew to seek out Judy Martin's Mended World, which is also to be found in this wonderful tome (which had to come home with me) ...

Because of Jude Hill, I met Glennis Dolce
whose beautiful vintage Japanese cloth and Shibori eclipse will be perfect for some long overdue mending (among other things) ...


Because of Jude Hill, I am part of a wonderful community of like-minded stitchers who have led me to believe in myself enough to join SAQA.

Because of Jude Hill, I have learned so very much and will be forever grateful as I continue to play with cloth and stitch, learning more every day.
