Renew, Recycle, Create Art

The quilter's reception will be in 4 days. The colors of their quilts, the fabrics that they work with, their warm smiles and welcoming words will be a perfect compliment for the Spring day. In Auburn we are seeing dogwoods showing out with thier colorful blooms, the azaleas bursting forth and leaves unfurling from the sleepy trees. This is my most favorite time of the year.

The daylight is longer. I ride my bike more often to squeak in a little more outdoor time. Garden tours are more frequent throughout the yard. It's almost zen-like to walk around first thing in the morning with a cup of coffee to see what is peeking through the ground.

This is a time for fellowship and nature. A friend of mine at work has brought by the most beautiful fabric to share with the quilters. Her aunt was a world traveler and art connoisseur. She left a wealth of material to share. Quilter's are recyclers. They take the fabric that they have on-hand or someone gives them. They create art. They are humble. They quilt beautiful pieces that bloom with color. Treasures live on in new pieces of art. They sing with a new song. And my friend's aunt looks down and smiles.

I hope that you all can visit with them on Saturday. It will stop time momentarily and you will be that more richer for it.

See you all there.
