What Shoes I Wear

Janyce, a fellow Estian (someone who sells on Etsy) who's shop name was "Sojourn Quilts" but is now "Madder Root" posted an interview about me on her blog, titled "What Shoes I Wear" (from the poem "Sorrow" by Edna St. Vincent Millay). The photo of the bowling shoes that I own. You can read the interview here.

Some FAQ about my bowling shoes:

No, I didn't steal them, I bought them new, on-line from the company who makes them.
Yes, I wear them outside.
No, I don't wear them to bowl in (since I've worn them outside).
Yes, I wear a size 7.
No, I'm not a good bowler.

Pam Geisel, the artist behind For Quilts Sake

My name is Pam Geisel and this is the first quilt that I made, back in 2001. What's unusual about me making quilts, is when I was in junior high, I took shop class because I didn't want to learn how to sew or even how to cook (I still don't cook).

I took a class on piecing and quilting by hand and I was hooked. I loved how it came out but it just took so long.

I decided then that if I used the sewing machine, I only had to know how to go forward and backward; I didn't have to know how to make button holes or put in zippers. Since then I've been learning from books and making it up as I go along.

Now I create and sell original, handmade art quilts and quilt-related art both on-line and at art shows in southwest Ohio. To see my quilts on-line, visit my website at www.PamGeiselArtQuilts.com.
