everybody has to start somewhere


   Beginner's mind: the Zen concept of openness, experimentation.
It's always exciting to start a new piece or learn a new skill.
Mindy Fullilove: "everybody is a student, everybody is a teacher".



  These are photos from the ghost of Christmas past again. My first quilt was made in 1968 from wonderful 1960s scraps, a simple one patch with brights and reds. It strangely vanished in a move and never was seen again. This is the beginning of my next quilt, around 1992-1994. I hope to encourage all of you to go ahead and start something from the back of your head. I still have this one.
