There is no greater loss than that of a mother. Your post today was particularly timely for me as I have been struggling with the loss of quilting time due to new job obligations. It has made me ask myself why do I put so much pressure on myself to accomplish so much in quilting. My answer is that it makes me whole. I'd like to think that I will be leaving a significant part of myself behind in my quilts, but the truth is I quilt because it gives me peace. I wish you peace in your quilting when you return. My thoughts are with you.Wendy Caton Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18122151466664580872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-33917069876315473152016-04-14T22:20:18.418+10:002016-04-14T22:20:18.418+10:00My heart goes out to you in this loss.

Because it was anticipated that I would succumb to cancer before last Christmas I, too, have thought of my small legacy of creativity. And what I came up with was that we are so lucky to be able to leave so many beautiful things that our hands have made and that our children will be able to hold and be comforted with. That's what I see when I look at my quilts, my children wrapped up in my love. Cool, huh?Gari in ALhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07695711731891676422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8113183995005359036.post-50119748044179724662016-04-14T00:17:01.812+10:002016-04-14T00:17:01.812+10:00I'm sorry for your loss.
