Terry Jarrard-Dimond Interviews Me

A while back I complained that I never get interviewed. I get to shut up now. Terry Jarrard-Dimond contacted me and you can go here to read her take on the Kathy Nida Experience (whatever that means). One of the most interesting things that came from this interview was her telling me that I make quilts about the human condition. I had never thought of it that way, and I’m still mulling it over in my head, but that’s what comes of other people looking at your work and trying to make sense of it. I appreciate her insight…now you go appreciate her blog.

I’m working on grades. They have to be done tonight, so I might not get to post anything else. I didn’t want you to worry, though, especially all the people on their way through while searching for “rigor mortis” (who knew that topic would be so popular)…

But you should watch this. I think I’m going to make my students watch it and write about it. She’s a beautiful poet and reader, and I don’t just mean the way she looks…

Truly a joy…and yet brings tears to the eyes. Enjoy.
