quilt '13

Wouldn't it be marvelous

to make a yearly

quilt...

commemorating the

you

of that year...

with colors

patterns

and detailing

that 

reflected your newest season?

This season

I am drawn to a shade

of blue-green.

A color that invites

calm.

Stay with me here

as I take you on a strange little journey...

a path that will lead us

right back
to where we started.

Beginning

with a visit to mom

on a day that had her cleaning out

her linen closet

and thinking of me.

She knew I would find a use for these

old 

well-used

memory-filled

miscellaneous pieces.

I took them home

and forgot about them.

Or did I?

 I came across this lovely

quilt on soulemama
weeks ago.

Just knew
I had to save the picture.

Didn't know the

why or what 

of it...

until this morning.

Seeing with new eyes

the pile of linens

passed on to
me.

Those spa colors

I am so drawn to were

staring back at me

begging to be 

used

in a new way.

Like a puzzle

all will fall together

in a happy pattern

piece by piece

until

it can be fully realized

and seen by all.

Because beauty

can be found in the most

unlikely of places...

like

mom's linen closet.

Time to put the puzzle together.
