"To sew is to pray. Men don't understand this. They see the whole but they don't see the stitches. They don't see the speech of the creator in the work of the needle. We mend. We women turn things inside out and set things right. We salvage what we can of human garments and piece the rest into blankets. Sometimes our stitches stutter and slow. Only a woman's eyes can tell. Other times, the tension in the stitches might be too tight because of tears, but only we know what emotion went into the making. Only women can hear the prayer."
— Louise Erdrich, Ojibwe

"Ix'Chel, as Grandmother Moon is known to Mayan Peoples, taught first woman how to weave at the beginning of time. Even now her teachings continue in the art of weaving and embroidery. Huipils, traditional indigenous blouses seen in this painting, hold the spiritual blessings (meaning) of flowers and other symbols and all are embroidered with prayer. Mesoamerican cosmology and wisdom is woven into the huipil as the women use certain patterns in accordance with the count of days from the sacred calendar."—Grace Alvarez Sesma

Sent the last of my star quilt orders off today. Hopefully all the young people getting them for graduation like them.

That being said I am not taking orders on star quilts right now. Or any big projects.
