Grief is such a strangely empty, yet overwhelmingly present thing. Whatever it is, it is achingly universal.
Have you ever just needed a hug? I have. And, what better way to hug a quilter than by making them a quilt? This is that quilt’s story.
Do you ever feel like you need a minute? I hope this quilt offers you a kind pace that cultivates the joy and healing that creativity brings.

Daisy Jane bloomed in the wake of what seemed a bitter pruning. But, I’m learning to lean into the cycle of growth in all of its forms.
As I reflect back on 2020, I can honestly say that I feel more fully present and whole than I have in a really long time. It proved a year full of surprises and changes, but it also became a year full of growth.
I managed to create a flower using the coffins as petals. It looked just like a daisy. Its very existence declared beauty in spite of tragedy, joy in spite of sorrow. And, the Daisy Jane block was born.
This quilt came to life as I mulled over this woman’s two cents in my heart. She didn’t compare herself to others or shrink back with insecurity.
