Gone for a while

I'm gone for a while, from blogging that is. I am still here, but my heart is heavy (and sometimes strangely peaceful at the same time), with cares for friends, for family, and for our country and world. I need the time now to be quiet, to reflect, and to work.

I will continue to post my projects on flickr - I need to note some measure of progress for my own benefit, so I can look back and see that I was there.

I finished Mammy's Flower Garden, an offering of love for Donna, and In the Beginning - Let there be Light, an offering of love for Nathan. My next big project will be Pentecost Moments (or Memories - both are working titles) for Todd. I purchased the fabric yesterday, and I can almost see it now. My sketch book is growing, and I'm almost ready to create some prototypes to hang around me as I try to discern the completed quilt in the fog of my vision.

Pray for peace, for wisdom, for understanding, for kindness, for our country and our world. Pray for healing for those we love who are ill. Pray for wholeness and a better way.
