I Could Write A Song About That: Lyrics & Fabric Art

Told through the songs she wrote and the appliqués she designed, this is a story of one woman's journey down a bumpy patch of life's road.This young woman was drawn to songwriting, singing, and sewing by her God-given talents, her desire to participate in the creativity that surrounded her in Santa Barbara, California, during the late 1970s and early 1980s, and by two unlikely gifts from a friend who moved out of state. So, when she found herself repeating her stories, she thought, "I could write a song about that," and, sure enough, the songs began to flow.Over 40 years later, she has compiled this book as an ode to the expressive arts that allowed her to acknowledge her fears and failings while recognizing the strength of her roots, her humor, and her dreams. It is a thank you to her family and friends who always expected good things from her. And, it is a reminder to put our gifts to use and let them guide us through our challenges and back to ourselves.
