I want my quilts to tell a story, without having to tell the story for the quilt in words, like the quilt above, where World Trade Center flag found in the rubble 3 days after the Towers fell, was brought out onto the ice by the police and firemen at the Olympics in Salt Lake City.  On the other hand, I love to write.  I have written many essays and a few poems, so if you're just drifting across the Web and want to pause for a minute, indulge yourself in one of my essays.  There are quite a few of them, so here are the links to them all.
