Beautiful and inspirational, Lynn. As one who, at one time when space allowed, has quilted, I think some of the most beautiful quilts I've ever seen are the scrappy ones, though I share your sentiments about polyester. :) Quilts are all about the love--to those who make them, those who restore them, and to those who receive them.
Okay, I'm really behind in my blog reading so you may never get to see this comment, but I had to say that that was a beautiful story and so true. When my boys showed some interest in quilting, we took all their favorite t-shirts that had gone past wearability and stuck them in a bag to be made into a memory quilt. They then lost interest, but I imagine I'll still make them the quilt some day.
I need a lot of time to myself. Lots and lots and lots of it. I need to not have to talk to other people at all for many hours, every day. I need the freedom to write and nap and putter outside, and let the stories arrive. I need space to cook and listen to music, and most of all—read, read, read, read, read. I need a lot of reading time, and it feels like nothing, but it’s everything. -- Barbara O'Neal

ReplyDeleteThat was really beautiful. I'm teary-eyed now. I had to send that one to my mother and sister, who both love your quilting blog :)
