Quiltin Motivation

finding motivation




Intrinsic motivation comes from within! It describes doing something for the inner satisfaction – for the feeling it cultivates within me

Extrinsic motivation describes behavior driven by external rewards, like praise or compensation.

  • What is my motivation in my upcoming projects in May and October 2023?

  • What might increase the intrinsic rewards for me?

  • What kind of external rewards do I enjoy or hope to get from doing my project?

Curator Schedules a Studio Visit

 A Studio visit is an important tool for learning, connecting, understanding, and growth—and can lead to opportunities like exhibitions or interviews, grow your network, and engender a wonderful conversation." - ……… the emphasis on a studio visit is the exchange."  Brooke Tomiello.

Sew I Sewed.... Received First Customer Complaint (to my surprise)

 I really consider each quilt a masterpiece... in the making.   My brain, body and my inner yearnings to start and finish a THINK OF BEAUTY.... MASTERFULLY.... BEAUTIFULLY !!!


So it should have been a raving success..... as I finished, folded, and presented my client her Thunder Quilt this week.  hmnnnn I sewed wrongly....  not so.... but customer was heard!


Please .... I share now... if you've been dumb-founded when a client goes on the attack....  she really is not herself,,, no knowing.... and misguided.   Home based business, hand-crafted, custom-design// quality cotton/threads/workmanship.  She was a referral.. highly rated by work of mouth in ringing my doorbell. The backside was her complaint.....!!!

So, we as quilters-we root for each other.  We remain kind.  We can more carefully choose our clients.  Should have sent her to JOURNEY's Commercial T-shirt Quilt Company... aaahhh ha!   


I loved making this so much....21 shirts from her 10-year collection of Thunder!  
 I took show-time photo's.   I'll post in a few minutes!!! 



Life is Wonderful... none-the-less.... and all-the-more!!!!!

One Lovely Word,,,,,

Black tea (💕💕) Camellia

The plant that black tea comes from is called Camellia sinensis, and the leaves are usually dried and steeped in hot water to make them into a beverage. This can be cooled to create iced tea, but you can also make a wide variety of different tea blends with it, with options like Morning Tea and Earl Grey being very popular.




While it contains a wide range of chemicals, black tea is generally considered to be quite good for you when it is consumed in moderation. Along with caffeine, black tea also contains antioxidants, along with a range of other beneficial chemicals that can improve your overall health.

I knew I could pull out all scraps for quilt top


Then the backing was pieced…. Refused to buy fabric… yippee!  Batting on hand, binding is machine stitched
