danced on the dance floor like a super athlete. As a world-class runner, I danced around the track for miles, and it was a beautiful sight to behold. Running was a powerful, graceful form of dancing. I am a dancer, and I am a dreamer! I have danced and dreamed my whole life away, which has been more fun than anyone should have, but I have done it well, my friends! When I went blind at fifteen, I danced through the adversity and darkness until I found the light. I walked, jogged, ran, and danced toward that bright light. When you create, you dance around thoughts, images, and dreams. My grandmother once told me she saw a quilt in the sky. I believe now she was dancing on the puffy white clouds in heaven! Dance is the hidden language of the soul. Don’t let people discourage you; just dance the bad vibes off! Dance rhymes with romance. Love is why we are here! Go quilters!

A friend once remarked sentiments to me that I’ve never forgotten as it surprised me at the time. He said, “I go to India regularly for peace and tranquility”. He, Steve Rigg, was an elderly English doctor who carried himself with a distinguished and yet calm casual air. He shared his stories, cooking, and music experiences from times spent in India. I discovered firsthand what he meant when I too ventured solo to India in 1998. I traveled to Rajasthan endeavoring to have my block-printed and painted fabric designs reproduced onto rolls of fabric. This has been a dream of mine since a young teenager. With just a backpack, I rolled up in a rickshaw to the gates of the Rajmahal Palace in Jaipur. I could only afford to stay one night. I was escorted to my breathtakingly beautiful room. With marble floors, soaring ceilings, carved timber bed furniture and side tables, white bedlinen, and parchment paper notepads, the ambiance was special. Superb quality, including gorgeous woven reed and bamboo blinds that draped the enormous timber framed glass windows looking out to a carved screen courtyard and beyond to expansive formal gardens. From my limited travel clothes, I dressed for dinner in a smoky blue and turquoise sarong I had brought from home. I wore the turquoise silk blouse which I had made the previous day in Udaipur. On my feet, I wore brown flat sandals crisscrossed high above my ankles. Filled with wonder and delight, I strolled through the expansive intricate carved wood passageways to the marble opulent dining room. I was placed at a candlelit table for two, white linen, high ceilings, and soft lighting. I ate my smooth curry while listening to the mystical sounds of a harp being played by three men sitting cross-legged on the marble floor. I felt the “Essence of India”. The feelings evoked from the journey, left my soul enchanted and my stay so memorable. I felt feverishly inspired to want to paint and design. A seed was planted in my mind and a wish to one day have a collection on rolls of fabric, inspired by an Indian palace.

We love the soft hand and beautiful drape of cotton lawn fabric. The butterfly print from Field Cloth is the perfect neutral that will coordinate with a variety of quilt tops. Cotton Lawn is a great silky complement for backing a quilt top, perfect for wrapping up in a bit of soft luxury. Lawn also helps to reduce the wrinkles that can occur when a quilt is folded for a period of time.

To me, Grace means the space to give self-love and self-care as I navigate a new life. This journey of Grace started in January 2022 with the word being part of my intentions for the year, going inward to take care of myself as a woman, artist, mom, leader, and friend. I needed to go to the next step of healing and self-discovery to find my new path. Part of this self-discovery was taking the risk to say 'yes' to #thehundreddayproject. This project took me on a discovery of what I have already done (I printed blocks I have already carved), tapping into what I know -color and discovering I am good at what I do. As the weeks continued and my confidence grew, ideas filled my head and I started carving new blocks. A series of blocks emerged and at the end, I kept carving and printing until Grace was born. This was the start of the collection and it grew to this rich, luscious, combination of colors and layers of designs. Grace was my journey to a new sense of self-worth and confidence, it continues to fuel my intentions and my life. We all need a little Grace in our lives!

To the tropical jungle, I owe my soul and memories. Rising Jungle is the beginning of a journey guided by the heartbeat that comes from a distance. Like the arteries that pump oxygen from my heart, wide rivers crossing the continents flow abundantly, bringing with them the sound of the jungle. A symphony of inexhaustible background noises nourishes the texture of my imagination. Here is where the jaguars, the toucans, the guacamayas, the titis, the leaves, the moss, the flamingos, and endless florals are drawn. Vibrant contours interweave ecosystems; It is the rhythm that marks the patterns of this collection. The colors of Rising Jungle are ready to start flowing through the veins of nature and to the rhythm of your own heart.
