... I'm just a guy who likes to make quilts ... and tell stories. Every day is an adventure as I try new things. Like the rest of life it seems, what can be done in quilt making is limited only by my imagination. What an incredibly exciting journey!

The Rest of the Story
When I was working on 'At Peace', I reflected on the life experiences that brought me total peace with the Universe; with my God, But then I decided that those moments just didn't tell the whole story.
When my partner died after a nasty bout with cancer I saw, and felt, that moment of peace at his passing. But there soon followed anger at the disease, loss, loneliness and a myriad of not so peaceful emotions and memories. They were part of our life, and it had been a good life!
I came to the realization that the moments of being at peace didn't tell the whole story. So I made this quilt. The background is made from one fabric, but cut to show the many other aspects of a life. It is an exact mirror of 'At Peace', which just seemed right to me.
It tells 'The Rest of the Story' ... about a life that was good.
