The Wall
The wall of unfinished quilt blocks…the shelves of neatly folded bits of fabric..my crayon box of creative potential. If you ask most any quilter, they have their “stash”…some have “secret stashes”…some have more than others. Behind closed doors, hiding in the depths of boxes and bags..more hidden potential!
She who has the most fabric when she dies…wins!!!
I don’t really believe that. Really, I don’t. But my list of quilts to DO is a lot longer than the list of quilts I’ve finished. Procrastination. Thinking, and thinking, of just the right design to use up the precious fabrics. Then, changing my mind. Over and over again.
Some people buy fabric to make the quilt as they see it in a magazine, or hanging on display in a quilt store. Not me. I buy fabric for the colors. Because it’s on sale. Because. Just because. Am I a “Fabriholic”? maybe…. I can rationalize all I want, which is telling myself rational – lies. But, I’ll never use all that fabric. So why keep it?
Hmmmm. Because it has possibilities. Potential. For beauty. For comforting someone.
Hmmm. To change and turn all this into a thought for myself for the day…..
Why did God ever make so many different people? Different colors? Different sizes? Etc. etc. etc.??? Is it because we, too, have possibilities? Potential? For beauty? For comforting someone? He made us each unique…colorful individuals..and He keeps us close to His Heart…because He cares for each of us. and our Potential.
We needed a break and a walk after eating our noon lunch. Somehow, my sister and I are quilt magnets..they were call our name…come see us…!!! A museum in western Kansas had these awesome quilts. The crazy quilt was in excellent condition.
