In My Own Words

For many years I have been documenting my life, first with journals, then with the text, The Quilting Path, with self-published books from The Quilting Path to The Container Blog and finally (for now) A Patchwork Life. Here is the list and links to see them:

The Container Blog was a project I did with poet, Jude Volmer,. This book is a series of my blog entries from 2011-2021 describing the creation of The Container Project and then my creative process written and shared in that blog.

There is writing about and for my grandchildren. The first was the record of a blog I kept for my first grandchild, Maya. There were also two story books, one that explains the story of my personal memory quilt, and the other that tells about my creation of a children’s tent.

In 2015, I did a summary of some of my blog entries that relate to creating BubbeWisdom, the term I settled on to define myself in these later stages of my life.

I wrote one book of fiction about the wife of the Rabbi of the Warsaw Ghetto called The Tent of Protection and many personal books about people in my family from My Cousin Mickey to my mother, father, my late partner, Heath Lamberts and a series of interviews with my father and his two brothers.

A Patchwork Life was first a book written during the pandemic and then the inspiration for an exhibition at The Heinz History Center.

Altogether a powerful informative written legacy.
