Idea ????

Back to wondering just how crazy I think I am.

I am not so sure, cool as I think it is, that that whole hand thing is going to work. Wouldn't it take forever to collect enough for a whole quilt? Maybe I should just collect peace sayings in the comment section here.

Should I make a whole quilt or just something to hand on the wall? Hmmm....much as I like walking into a room with hanging quilts, I prefer wrapping them around me. What do you think?

Sweetie says he knows all about EBAY. Is that the best way to go? How does auction compare with raffle?

The deciding what to do and how to do it might take longer than making the quilt!

Thinking out loud,
Merry ME

How about making little quilts for cots?
I used to make quilt cushion by hand in the days when I had to do night duty when I was a nurse. It was a great way to keep awake.
I would love to be in a quilting circle, not something we have a lot of over here.
I love books and movies about women sitting together making and talking.Think it's a lovely way to share our lives.
Good luck with your quilt

My 'Sweetee" thinks that people may very well bid on a beautiful quilt, but that people on e-bay will be skeptical that the money will go to their peace charity. Maybe people who get involved in these sorts of benevolent ventures are not as skeptical as the rest of the world. My suggestion is that you choose 1or 2 or 3 worthy causes, including Wounded Veterans, etc., maybe your favorites. Now as for the quilt, I was picturing a strings of hands, front and back sort of like hanging Christmas tree lights. Hands out of peace dove fabric. You might not be able to include all the hands, but you could include many of them from around the world. Maybe you could include around the edge in small print, all the names and places of the unincluded hands. But... who am I to suggest something to someone as talented as you. Go for whatever comes into your creative mind. It will be beautiful! lg

An Easter Miracle

How is it that after someone you love dies, time moves on even when it feel like its standing still? Philosophers, poets and writers have tried to answer that question since time began. I don't have the answer. I just know that, by what I can only imagine is the Grace of God, it does. When you heart is broken into something resembling a 1000 piece jig saw puzzle and there are no directions on how to put it together, somehow it mends. When some else dies and it cracks again, God stitches the old wound and the new wound together into a patchwork of healed scars. Fifteen years ago, when I watched my mother draw a breath then counted the seconds before she took another but none came, I sat by her bed and tried to imagine being a motherless child. Then I did what any kid would do, ran down the long hospital corridor sounding the alarm. "My mother isn't breathing." "My mother isn't breathing."  Want to see doctors, nurses, CNAs, and cleaning ladies tur...
