Holly Pruett, Celebrant

February 19, 2014

HollyPruett

I am dedicating  this blog entry to singing the praises of Holly Pruett. Holly Pruett does with words and ritual what I do with fabric. As a Life-Cycle Celebrant she stitches together the pieces of a person’s life story with their values, beliefs, and traditions. Holly works with her clients to create and officiate unique, personal ceremonies commemorating life’s major life events – from weddings to funerals and everything in between. Please visit her website www.hollypruettcelebrant.com to learn more about her business and her craft.

Winter Inspiration

February 13, 2014

Snow days are not always a given here in the Northwest, so when we were hit with a big snow and ice storm last weekend, I headed for the mountains and found the stark, dormant vegetation an inspiration.

Quilled, not Quilted

January 29, 2014

I have discovered the art of Quilling, and for the last two weeks, have worked with my son’s 4th grade class to make this quilled eagle.  We all twirled hundreds of small strips of paper then glued them into an eagle shape inspired by the designs of the native Haida Tribe.  Many hours, many hands.

What Moved Me Today

January 17, 2014

 

Today would have been the 100th birthday of Oregon’s former Poet Laureate, William Stafford.  Oregon Public Broadcasting just aired a live show from Portland’s Central Library honoring this amazing writer. Give it a listen or check out some of his poetry to inspire you in whatever you do.

From Lori’s Notebook

  • Mark’s van der Rohe

    It’s not often that the clothing I receive for my memorial quilts so clearly reflects a person’s passion and life work.

  • Louisa’s Eclipse

    I believe many of us from a certain generation can relate to having held on to a box of our mother’s or grandmother’s table linens which we don’t have the heart to discard, nor do we want to bust out our irons every time we have a dinner party.

  • A Tartan for Tasmania

    After having successfully shipped my most recent quilt all the way to my client Sigrid in Tasmania, I can officially say that my work has made its way across the world.
