History woven in mystery passing down from one generation to another and on into the future.
My avocation, my joy, my gift to share with others.
Love you can wrap some one in to give comfort and courage.
A piece of myself I give away freely.
Time spent alone in contemplation and time spent with others in collaboration.
Learning, teaching, listening, designing, refining, beginning, ending, finishing and completion.
An explosion of color or shades as muted as a whisper.
Quilting is me, quilting is we...who are quilters.
BRAVA!!!
That should be emblazoned above every quilter's workspace ... beautiful, poetic and so true - thank you for expressing it so well for all quilters, everywhere - members of the sister(and brother)hood of the traveling needle
