February 2024 Quilt Update

 

Our theme this year, JOY!!!  I believe we all need a bit of a help in adding this to our lives.  If you didn't get a chance to check out the post explaining it all --- here is the LINK to the initial post.  I'm looking forward to the direction this can take us all, but especially myself, if I give it a fair shot.  Sometimes stepping out of comfort zones is challenging, but it almost always allows for growth.  Here we go for February:  I know you are probably thinking that with February being all about love, that I would focus on that type of Joy.  Well, in a way I am.  How about loving ourselves and being Joyful Women?  It's very hard to project joy when we are so very unhappy with our own worlds.  This month, let's focus on being a Joyful Woman and trying not to let the issues overwhelm.  They won't go away, but they don't have to dictate how we interact with others and our own selves.  Yep, be good to yourself.  Love yourself.  We can do it!

Keaton Quilts Spotlight - New York City

 We are in New York City and I always try and find a quilt shop when we travel.  This one was challenging.  Keaton Quilts may just be the last quilt shop in New York City.  Due to high rent costs, it's almost impossible to stay in business and in trying to do so,   They have an amazing history - go in and meet Justin Stafford.  Oh and Google them - so, so cool.

Here we go --- up to the 8th floor of 150 W 28th Street.
