Kindred Spirits

I recently was the guest speaker at the Kindred Spirits Quilt Guild in Charlottetown.  I talked about my process in making Pangur Ban, the Cat, my newest art quilt.  I bought my sketchbook, and the head, hands and feet I sculpted from polymer clay.  I also brought my needle-felted white cat, which I will add to the piece as Pangur Ban.  Most everyone liked my work.  Of course, there is always the traditional quilter, perfectionist who points out what she would have done "the right way."  Undaunted, I will keep working on my art, just as the monk and his kitty Pangur Ban worked on theirs, turning darkness into light.
