Luke Haynes Makes Me Salivate

Early this morning I was up to my usual 4am business.  Reading through my emails and catching up on Etsy.  There is so much talent on Etsy, I wish I had more time to explore.  I'm always so appreciative when another shop owner favorites one of my designs and I use this as a way to connect and see what is going on in the wide world of Etsy.  Following the thread of one of my designs, I happened upon Luke Haynes. Uh, how I was unaware of Luke I have no idea. That rock I've been living under is bigger than I thought!  Luke is a quilter, and a very skilled one at that and I have the feeling he is also kind of a genius.

I have a super primitive reaction when something creative hits me aesthetically in a way that I cannot deny. I literally drool.   Yeah, Luke Haynes, you make me salivate! I am so floored by Luke's work that I do not even really know what to say.  Perhaps there is nothing to say.  Let's just look and salivate.
