Am I still quilting? Of course I am! I've spent this pandemic learning more about the Modern Quilt movement and experimenting with their style.

It's been easy in some ways, since I have already done quilts in what are now considered "modern" ways, but there are variances that I've been exploring. I'm not good at accepting labels for my work, but they are needed for social media tags. I've added modern to my list of art, traditional, contemporary, etc. besides the usual applique vs piecing, plus foundation paper piecing techniques.

I'm also on a journey to learn more about my ethnic roots. Through recent research by paper trail as well as DNA, I'm still processing the latest revelation. I knew that I'm half Japanese, but now the confirmation of indigenous Japanese heritage leads me on a new adventure. We'll see where that leads!
