A Common Thread



Everyone's stitches are different. It's synonymous to our lives. We are all different and yet all the same. We have gaps and breaks in our lives. Some of our decisions and choices are thin and thread bare, most are strong. Some need simple reinforcing. Quilting is a lot like life.

"When I am frayed and strained and drizzle at the end
Please someone cut a square and put me in a quilt
That I might keep some child warm."
-Nikki Giovanni



We are fortunate to be able and share time with these wonderful women who are East Alabama hand-quilters on March 28th. Time is fleeting but I promise it will stand still when you stop...say "hello" and talk with them.
