Happiness cannot be traveled to,owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Denis Waitley
When I think about all that quilting and becoming a quilt designer has brought into my life my immediate feeling is overwhelming gratitude. Living my life in a state of gratitude has informed everything I do. Sometimes days are difficult to find that grateful feeling and I have to dig harder, pray longer and just breathe. I have a dear friend (she knows who she is and will know when she reads this) who frequently will say to me “Pat, just breathe!” It helps to have someone to remind you to just breathe. Right? Why do I say this today? Well, because of my time away from my blog I have neglected to express my gratitude of some quilting wonderfulness! This has been quite a quilty year! I am so happy to share.
First of all, I was honored to have a quilt in the 2014 American Patchwork and quilting calendar. The quilt is beautifully photographed and the other quilts in the calendar are keepers for sure.
Guess what? I have a quilt that is in the MARTINGALE 2015 CALENDAR. Holey smokes a calendar girl two years in a row. The quilt that is featured is my Road Trip quilt which is in Knockout Neutrals! I will be adding this calendar to my website if you would like a copy. Check back next week!
