Sorry gang.  I meant to post this ‘before’ the trunk show.   Getting back into blogging after everything that happened to me last year has been ……. somewhat challenging.  Mostly because I forgot how to use WordPress. And they have made so many improvements and changes that it’s been like learning a new language almost. […]

How I know I’m in good mental shape?  When I’m engaging in the things that I love. This is how I knew I might finally be healing from the effects of Lyme. Around the end of May I started sewing again. Honestly I had not stepped foot in my sewing room since about January. I […]

My studio. This is where the magic happens friends. My studio. Which is just an extra room in our walk-out basement. I think we originally planned it to be an “exercise” room. As if that was ever going to happen. I don’t think it really qualifies as a basement. It’s just the lower level of […]

I have a muse. I think everybody does. According to my online dictionary a muse is a noun and a verb. My “Muse” is my sister goddess who presides over my art. She visits me while I’m “musing”. I thought I might share some of my process with you. I don’t really have a process, […]

If “Cowgirl-Red” married “Dia de los Muertos”  that’s what you would get. Ladies and Gentlemen, I announce the birth of ……… “El Gringo Cowboy” “cowboy” pronounced  “kuh-BOY “ Say it now…… El Gringo Cowboy ! If I had a little cowgirl or cowboy close by I could use them for a model. That would be what […]

Some of you may remember my old friend, The Amish Cowgirl Well, I said goodbye to her Saturday. It’s hard to say goodbye when you’ve been friends for so long.   She was my first vintage quilt. I sold her to someone who really wanted and appreciated her and will cherish her in her home. […]

Everyone has a dream. I’ve had many.   About 7 years ago I started “Cowgirl-Red”. I wasn’t sure where she was going to go.   I set goals. I got coaching. I planned. I blogged. I sewed. I lived my crazy life.  Cowgirl-Red is pretty much just like me. (Actually, she is me.)  She pretty much […]

 I call this one “The Story of My Life” quilt. The pattern is an old one called “Trip Around the World”. I bought it at an antique store in Wichita the same day I saw the Surfer Jesus . “Trip Around the World”  is apropos for my life.   Because ….. I’ve been everywhere, man.    […]

 My name is Terah and I have serious addiction …. to vintage quilts. Not all vintage quilts…..  Just the ones that are unfinished. Unusual. That speak to me. That need some TLC. That want to be brought back out into the light. From wherever they were hiding. To fulfill the purpose “She” intended.   A […]

This was originally posted in 2011.  Under the title “Vintage Quilt Blocks.”  I promised you another post when I finished the backing and binding so here it is. (3 years later…..  don’t judge, …. I’ve been busy) I know I’ve said this before. But this may very well be my favorite project to date. In […]
