Busy Week


It's been a busy week.  Sarah and Winnie came to visit and to celebrate Sarah's 40th birthday.  Along with the happy busyness of visiting, Reds game, birthday party, and landscaping, it was also the last Sunday for my church's much-loved pastor.

Among the gifts for the pastor family, I was asked to make a wallhanging, shown above.  It's called Roots and Journeys and represents the roots we put down and the journeys we take throughout our lives.

 
 
Bright colors seemed appropriate for a family that includes three young girls.  The machine quilting is dense, both for contrast and to help the fine line piecing lay flat.
 
As always, there is a period of readjustment following the fun of a Sarah/Winnie visit.  The house and my life are too quiet.
