The Quilters

Why I use a quilt theme on this blog:

Mary White, from "The Quilters: Women and Domestic Art :An Oral History ", page 20

"Mary explained that quilting was an expression of how she saw the world. "Sometimes you don't have no control over the way things go. Hail ruins the crops, or fire burns you out. And then you're just given so much to work with in a life and you have to do the best you can with what you got. That's what piecing is. The materials passed on to you or is all you can afford to buy... Your fate. But the way you put them together is your business. You can put them in any order you like.""

That's what people with ICI do.

About Me

Sherril: SE Georgia, United States; I live with multiple chronic illnesses: FM, Endo, food allergies, TMJD, IBS, three forms of arthritis, Hashimoto’s disease and bulging and herniated discs. I’ve been blogging about The ICI Experience since 2007. I’ve been interested in the environmental links to disease since it was discovered in 1992 that exposure to dioxins is directly correlated to the incidence of Endometriosis. Being a Consultant for the Ava Anderson line of non-toxic skincare and cosmetics made me even more aware of the dangers of chemicals everywhere in our environment. I started a blog in 2010 called Non-Toxic Me to write about these issues. On my life before CI took over: I have a bachelor’s degree in Poli Sci with a minor in Computer Science. My work experience includes administrative and office management, university level academic advising, sales of sewing machines and accessories, and restaurant management. I have volunteered with CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates, for abused and neglected children in our court system. So far, this is not the way I expected my life to turn out. But I’m working on figuring it out.
