We have a strict policy at my home: no cat hair on my quilts! That's why my cat knows exactly that it is absolutely forbidden- with no exception to the rule, any violation is  punishable by ... I've forgotten right now - well, I made it clear to her that she is not to come anywhere near my quilts or hearts or horses or bears or mice... that's why she lies in my basket here.

Lupine's Second Birthday

Two years ago, on August 13, 2010, I opened my Lupine-studio.

I consider my "Lupine" a successful enterprise because it makes me happy on a daily basis! 

Thus I have happiness to share with everyone who comes to me and is interested in "bringing things and persons together" (that's what I wrote on my card)... bringing things and persons together so that they form a lovely pattern in life and in quilts, 

oh, I love that idea.

There are so many ways to achieve that in life... and this is my way. I consider myself lucky to have found it!

"Your work is to discover your world and then with all your heart give yourself to it."

Butterfly

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.

To find ideas for the right butterfly patchwork-design I was happy to use the book
