One of these is not like the other. One of these is not the same! Especially when so many are struggling, I was thrilled to be asked to make this welcome quilt so it could hang at the entrance of a local church. It was displayed there for two years before I got a call that there was a problem. Can you see it? Yes, the bottom columns of color are out of order--once you see it, you can't unsee it! Thankfully, my clients, Steve and Nancy, contacted me and allowed me to correct it. I hand-sewed new fabric over the orange and yellow pieces on this quilt and had it back to them before the next church service. I also made a second one for them because it was the right thing to do. So now they have the original hanging to make everyone feel welcome and a spare to share however they wish!

My friend and fellow maker, Amy Holland, told me she was doing a craft show to benefit Ukraine and agreed to sell ornaments for me. That same day I heard of the sudden death of my cousin Denise Petty. The family requested that we do something nice for someone in her honor. So the ornaments became my way of honoring Denise's life of service by helping the people of Ukraine- with Amy's help. |
Centered My garden is where I feel the most centered. I chose fabric with leaves, and placed this circle . . . well. . . centered in the quilt. Balance is illusive to me but it is worthy pursuit. The design quilted in the center is the art of CaRE-mate Jeff Wibberley. I only knew him as a sweet and determined man battling cancer, not realizing he was a pillar of our community who had dedicated his life to the service of others. Despite the fact that he could not speak, he exuded kindness. The second day of class he came with "doodles" he had drawn for each member. I chose one of the simplest to quilt, and replaced "Amy" with "Peace, Courage, Health, Hope." |
