Things that inspire me today....
(above quilt inspired by thoughts of her)
Feels like Grandma's house quilt
My grandmother,
her quilts
and
Her Bath tub Mary in her yard...
of my work as an artist
Virgin Mary's
The town my grandmother lived in
The Mighty Mississippi that runs down the side of Minnesota...
and through her town
and through her town
And Charlie Pride Singing Roll on Mississippi....
She would have been 92 today.
Happy Birthday Grandma!

I love a Bathtub Mary! It just makes ya smile! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI just wrote my post today and talked about inspiration. Also, I have nominated you for an award for inspiring me to experiment with color.
ReplyDeleteWhat inspires me today? Well, if my front door wasn't literally frozen shut I would be heading out to cook some NOLA recipes passed to me by my sister-in-law's family.
ReplyDeleteTruly, today, the selflessness of others is what is inspiring me. Part of a larger project that in only the first day raised over $20,000 for emergency relief in Haiti.
On the home front The Monster was inspired by PBS and we'll be making applesauce shortly.
LOVE the bathtub Mary! I can see WHY that would inspire you! Here's to your Grandma's BIRTHDAY!
ReplyDeleteI always love to honor those who came before.
I'm sure, given the bathtub Mary, your grandma would be equally as proud of your as you are of her :) And what a birthday celebration it is! What inspires me today, is relief the weekend will bring. To breath, and exhale and rest. Happy weekend V!
ReplyDeleteGreat inspiration and sentiment for your grandmother.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet Grandma and what sweet memories! Thanks for taking us along on a memory.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post and tribute to your grandmother. My mother will be 92 on Valentines Day! It is amazing to hear her stories.
ReplyDeleteLOvely post. Thank you for sharing your memories.
ReplyDeleteHavr a great weekend.
Oh - and what inspired me? Went to the LQS and got some lovely French sized FQ's. Couldn't resist!

ReplyDeleteThat was me who deleted my own comment - I wanted to know what a bathtub Mary was, but now that your photos have finally loaded, I see what it is.
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother was my biggest influence because she taught me to use a sewing machine and gave me her wonderful sense of color. She's there somewhere in all of my work.
My grandmother was a great influence in my life (she lived with us) and one of the major reasons I love sewing (she was a seamstress). Your creations are a great tribute to her. She inspired great things.
