A diary of the second half of life. A life that includes swimming, knitting, love, hope, faith, grace, humour and depression. Not necessarily in that order.

Q is for Quilters
So there are all their names. Thirteen of them. In cursive no less! And not only that but around the outside of the quilt they stitched the name of every student who had ever been in the class through our years together. That is another twenty-four. It was a very special addition.
Here it is in all its glory. They made me promise to sleep under it and not just hang it on a wall.
I do.
Every single night.

ReplyDeleteThis theme of yours is the perfect A-Z Mary-Anne... You've kept the flavour of your blog and told people more about you and your life in such a sweet open way... your honest voice rings through... thank you
thank you so much for the compliment. It has been a great trip down memory lane and a reaffirmation that what I did for those years was totally worth it.
DeleteThat quilt is really beautiful, and it is lovely to see the names of the students so carefully done. It is a realy work of love :-)
