Stirrings of Spring

New life awakens with the longer days, and thinks of emerging from the cold and frozen land. It happens every year. We long for it, we anticipate it, yet still there is the element of wonder when it begins to happen.

I went back to my sewing group yesterday. It was a long hiatus, though it was much like returning after a week. The quilt that had been languishing for almost two years is on the work table and progress is being made, all the same except somewhat lonelier than before.

The quilt is a kaleidoscope pattern, and the quick count has it with close to 3000 bits. I jokingly say that it will either be nice or an abomination and I won't know until it goes together. I hope it is nice, it's for my Doctor- I happened to mention it on my last visit so now.....I hope it's nice.
