I didn't have a blog then but I followed a few and I remembered reading about the fire after you had returned to your home. After re-reading her post and your subsequent ones, I can't believe you have the strength to do this quilt so soon after such a traumatic event. I'm even more proud of you now and I only wish I could be one of the lucky ones who gets to see this at your show!

I know it sometimes hard to not worry about what other people will think. I think we all struggle with that, but I for one am proud of you for sharing this incredibly personal quilt with the world. Throughout history, women have expressed their feelings in their work with a needle and thread. I'm happy to see you carry on this tradition. I only wish I could see it in person when it is done.

I hope the viewers will feel all of that! And those people who can't take it in, will just need to walk past, and that's okay too. <br />Take care of your stitching finger... I know that once you have made a hole, it's a bit harder to heal up if you continue to stitch ;)<br />Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-44922439776676374762015-03-30T15:20:56.825-07:002015-03-30T15:20:56.825-07:00Having written my previous comment I began to read...Having written my previous comment I began to read an article written by the Bishop of our Diocese.

You are...LOL. I Always use a thimble when I sew. <br />You are facing the struggle anyone does when they expose their inner self to the world. You'll win. It will all be out of your system and not bottled up, and when all is said and done, what the world thinks of your quilt is irrelevant. <br />Hugs xxDashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415154217182640049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-66764355817513597102015-03-30T14:16:25.319-07:002015-03-30T14:16:25.319-07:00I know what you mean about that little hole in the...I know what you mean about that little hole in the finger, it hurts and the needle always finds it!<br />I think it will be interesting to see the reaction to your quilt.
