Music is a special way of getting through some of today's sadness and horror. Words are not enough. Music is not enough, but it helps. Getting to hear music by talented University of Southern Mississippi students is a special blessing, at their recitals as requirements for their degrees and at my church in our musicians in residency program.
An unexpected event resulted from one of these friendships. Franco Galetto, a cellist from Argentina, said he and two others (video major Jesse Johnson and drama major Makallen Kelley) needed to prepare a documentary for their class and asked if I would be their subject. I am humbled by this attention but really love to talk about and share my art, so I gladly share their production. They said their professor liked it. |

Very nice, the kids did a great job. I feel the same about a good book, and a good quilt that I'm working on, I too kind of slow down so I can keep the joy going.
Nice work, take care.
Wonderful interview. Beautifully done.
DonaleeK and Anonymous. Thanks so much! The students really captured the real me. That's Rahrah photobombing. Elizabeth makes one appearance sitting on the piano near a picture of my Baltimore Album quilt.
This is Keri Davis and I just love this video. I have had a very rough week and seeing you working in your space and talking about life, fabric, and cats made my day! We love your work at Pacesetter Gallery and are proud to be able to share Martha Ginn with the world!
Thanks, Keri! It is an honor to have my work in your Pacesetter Gallery! I admire you for creating this beautiful place and hosting interesting events to draw people in to experience the art and music. Keep up the excitement you are generating in Mississippi.
I left a note on the SAQA Members Only FB page too, but wanted to tell you again, in this space, how much I enjoyed that interview, how well it was done, and how much beauty you create in your work.
Thanks, Margaret Blank...I did see the comment on SAQA FB. I always relate to your posts/comments and now have found your blog, did some more "getting to know you" and subscribed. Will write more in email later.
What a great interview! (Insight on the origin of your love for quilting) I am inspired by your passion for what you do and the joy and peace that comes with it, indicating that you are where you need to be: sharing your love, art, and talent with the world and enjoying every minute of it as well as inspiring and encouraging people like these young students me and others to blaze our own trails. (pursue or follow our passions, interests, loves, dreams or careers.) I enjoyed it. Thanks. God bless 🙏🏾
Thanks, Anonymous--maybe Tierney!
