celebrate joy. unbridled and bubbling streams of joy. laughter that breathes. happiness that blinds. let it drench you. there has been much sadness this weekend. remembering the horrors of 10 years ago. the emptiness and the pain. and there are less horrible but often equally overwhelming personal daily fears and stresses. survive the pain and celebrate the joy. live with it and keep it close and drown the sadness in joy.
the quilts i make blend a grandmother's ideals with a fresh youthful flair. there is a nostalgia for seasons past combined with hopefulness for a bright full future. I write little stories in my mind as I make the quilts. sometimes they become actual stories. and sometimes I share them here.
