Uncommon Hearts

I found a wonderful old, falling apart crazy quilt.  I couldn't leave it lying in the estate sale.  It was asking me to take it home.

Ok, I would be glad to have you in my safe arms.  The lady checking me out said, I hope you don't cut it up.  Did she read my mind?  Because it was ragged, the silk shredding.  I told her I have great plans for her.  Wouldn't it be better to share her with people than her being thrown away.

I feel so connected to the ladies that put these stiches in this fabric.  I wanted to create something special, so those hours, skills and special get togethers to create were not wasted.

When we got home she sat waiting for new life.  Then I remembered my great teacher, Susan Edmondson, made wonderful necklaces with her stiching.


So me and miss quilt had a date.  I started my series of "Uncommon Hearts" for a Common World.
