    I love mosaics since I was a child and yours is so beautiful! It's so colourful and bright and warm, good job. I always think to play with fabrics and colours is balsam for the soul.
    Have a great day!

  4. Apologies if this is a duplicate….I just bought big magic today and am reading along with Brene brown's rising strong. Keep on rising and creating!!! You have been an inspiration for me for a number. Of years now- I love this new block!

  5. By the way, got so carried away that I forgot to say, your mosaic is beautiful! So striking; it reminds me of a stained glass window with the sun beaming through.

  6. I can't WAIT to read Liz Gilbert's new book; thank you SO much for the heads-up. Ok, serendipity alert. Today, while passing a closed tile factory, I wondered where in my hometown I could find ceramic 'art' tiles, and if I could buy a single tile if I did find them. And then your 8-inch mosaic shows up just 3 hours later. Uh-huh. Never thought of quilting them! Awesome. By the way, if you have never heard of Esther Hicks and Abraham, you might want to check them out. They are always emphatically about everyone finding their joy and living in it in every moment of every day. Not only is it good for the individual, but good for everyone around them…and everyone around THEM, and then everyone around them, etc. It radiates and multiplies. We are supposed to be enjoying ourselves here…….'en-joying,' meaning 'to cause to be in joy.' Love your posts!!

  7. The mosaic is stunning! I have just begun quilting in the last year and I do find it joyful. But some days I just want to sew, some days make greeting cards, some days just read. I decided when I retired that I would devote part of most every afternoon to things that bring me joy. So in the mornings I do what I have to do and what keeps the household healthy and happy. And, I do all that through a lot of pain and the depression brought on by such pain. Always there is in my mind what I will do for joy today. I try my best to concentrate on that.

    Your mosaic block is gorgeous! The bright colours against the darker background are so pretty. I would LOVE to hear more about how you made this, please!

    That's a really nice mosaic quilt, fabrics do look like glass! I would like to hear more about it too. I really like the bright new website. Well done Leah and Josh!
