V's Version

Thank you everyone. I appreciate all the feedback and remission IS bloody good news!

I still have to deal with that crazy skin-blistering disease that I have but now that the cancer is in remission, I will try to wean off the outrageous pooled blood product that is more expensive than gold and much harder to find.

Lots of people have been asking me if I feel any different. Or what does being in remission mean.

I guess I would sum it up in one word: future.

None of us really knows how long we have. all we have is now. And while that will always be true, I think I can plan on what to wear at my wedding. (!!!!)

I can let myself daydream of Pk in college without crying.

I can start a business (if someone didn't want an actual quilt because of money or space or whatever - do you think they might want to buy greeting cards with photos of my quilts on them? Just a thought.)

As a quilter in the Santa Cruz, Felton, Soquel, Aptos, Ben Lommond, Boulder Creek, Capitola, Watsonville, Monterey, CA area, I create dynamic new art and crazy quilts, custom design unique artquilts, restore damaged antique and vintage quilts. I hand and free motion machine quilt and embroider, using new and vintage fabrics, photographs on cloth, t shirts, baby clothes and family memories. The important thing is to present each client with a one of a kind piece that is infused with memory and meaning. I hope that you will visit the gallery on my website and contact me with inqueries.

Future is a good thing.

Thanks for helping me see it!

Today two requests for quilts came in. If I had tears, they would be of joy and astonishment. I am honored, I am excited. Oh to be working at what I am called to do! I just can't believe it.
