    What is so lovely here is that this white heart, which one would think could be a cold heart, an icy heart, is anything but and most especially, the texture, the language of the kantha stitches and the weaving, wraps itself around me and warms me…

    All of these hearts… can’t help think of Jim Dine. This is like a ghost heart.

    and i just looked at your blog…EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeee!
    need to spend TIME and you are in Humbolt County!
    this is great cause daughter is setting out for California
    somewhere near there i think???? she’s looking. but
    she raises goats. but any connection in the slightest
    with that area of California makes me feel good…it’s
    like she’s going to China or something…..am having
    feelings about it.
    will go back to your blog now….
