It makes me feel her loneliness.
Interesting response. I felt her need to be an artist, to create something beyond utility. I suppose loneliness would have been a constant companion of pioneer quilters, if they were unable to meet with neighbours for a ‘B’.
[…] Quilt Quote « I Am with you always. […]
Love this quote. I have always wanted to make a quilt. It’s on my bucket list for sure.
Making a quilt is not as hard as it looks! Try it once, you might be hooked. Thanks for visiting my espace, welcome.
I knit and I especially love to knit blankets and throws. I know I will make a quilt one day, it’s just a matter of diving in and doing it!
