Sir Richard's comment (below) has prompted this clarification: "Quilt" is a tribute to my very artistic sister, Diane, who made exquisite quilts for her two sisters. She did so despite recent recovery from a very painful hand surgery. That she is a dedicated craftsman/artist does not begin to honor her creative gift. Bountiful Blessings Dear Little Sis!

 

~Quilt~

 

Broken hand be damned

Quilter's heart will not be bowed

Magic flows from Thee

 

Colors breathtaking

Quirky patterns stir the Soul

Composition Rare

 

Love in every Stitch

Unleashed Creativity

Beauty's gift Sublime

A very enjoyable tribute to the art of a creative woman. You choose your words with great precision, love the first two lines.

Bless Diane and her great talent
and bless you, Carolyn, for honouring
her and sharing her gifts with us.
Like many arts and crafts this one
is not much seen anymore in the West,
certainly not as much as it used to be,
but still thrives here in some parts of Asia.

I bet that quilt is as beautiful as these lovely kus
and visa versa and when its done
the soft heavenly hand of it creator will bathe in the warness
of its purpose, a healing from the heart
love & peace be with you

Indeed C.G. how else could one be so creative but to have to accept that which is broken and move on, The pain of overcoming this event opens our creative portals and connects our passions to universe. upon which "The magic flows from thee"

Such a wonderful write, such a beautiful thing.

"Broken hand be damned" indeed. A metaphor here that could easily undergird many scenarios. Hope it's not yours CGMB. My Grandmother Gunvor was a quilter. Still have one of them. Sadly I don't think I know anyone anymore with the patience for the craft. Enjoyed this. Peace to you ... richard
