A Very Talented Lady! and an inspiration...

Hi all! I just got home from work...phewww!! 4/5 days at work...only one more to go!!



At my job, everyone knows how much I love quilts and quilting and quilters...so I occasionally find some goodies waiting for me! Scraps found in a garage sale, patterns from estates, etc. Today, I found in my box a most interesting pamphlet! It all about Diane Rose, the only known totally blind quilter and speaker. It is amazing that she is such a prolific quilter, and has no vision at all. Her website is http://www.theamazingquilter.com/. It is such a humbling thing to know that she has no sight, but is able to make beautiful quilts, and her own clothing too! Cool, huh?



Have a wonderful day! Maybe you can check her out too.! Her joyfulness sure made my day!
