Today, we went out into the cold and hung Maria’s beautiful new quilt – “Keeping Warm” up on the red barn wall, I love this quilt, it is full of surprises and reflects Maria’s own warmth and her connection with so many people all over the country. She knows something about warmth.

Her work keeps me warm. So does she.

It was about 4 degrees when we did the video, and the title was timely and apt. In the video, Maria tells the poignant story of this quilt.

This quilt had many parts and lots of emotion, and the funny thing is, it is warming, I wanted to wrap myself up in it. Maria tends to do work like that. If you are interested, the quilt went on sale yesterday and costs $425 plus shipping.

There is a quiet elegance and warm to this work, I think. People send Maria beautiful vintage fabrics from everywhere, and she remembers each one of them by name. This quilt even has an elephant from India.
