if you follow along here, you know i'm one who reads on a regular basis. this is the current volume on a medieval nun, hildegard von bingen. it's part fiction of course, but i wanted to learn more about this remarkable woman i first learned about in music class in college. now, my degree is more ultra-pricey maine souvenir than career booster--way more than any goofy lobster mug--but i did learn some about many things. this woman was a writer, poet and composer among other accomplishments, unusual for her religious vocation. medieval motets make me nearly swoon; i love the spiritual nature of the sounds and do listen to them on CDs, often on sundays to set the tone for the day . *** on the quilty front, been quilting on autumn change and happy to say nearly ready to bind. am also working on 2 hush-hush projects, my maine quilts piece and a small swap quilt being hand pieced. in addition to quilting right now, though, have to prep my pieces for bonnie's workshop....super fun to come!
