Just back from St. Louis, where I delivered this and 3 other similar contemporary crazy quilt squares to a dear friend for her wedding quilt. Well, it's aged into an anniversary quilt, but it is beautifully moving from the idea stage to finished-comforting-object stage.
I'm off to The Clearing in Door County on Sunday, to attend Judy Bridges' Writers' Retreat. It's exciting to trust that something equally beautiful and concrete will emerge in poetic or narrative form from the phrases and verbal images lurking and gestating in thought. "The Clearing" - place and process! I know I'll learn and grow. What a great gift.
