It is very touching to have someone tell your story...this month's The Quilter Magazine tells mine through the words of a very talented writer, Lucy Fazely. Lucy and I had a great time talking on the phone, as she is in the midwest and I am in Florida, in the dead of winter while I was very comfortable in Florida's mild winter and she was freezin' her toes off up north! But retelling how Lollipops got started warmed us both and sharing our common humanity of family life and new hope quickly crept into our conversation - we are both old souls.
That Eric is now in the last days of his third tour of duty in Iraq, his last time there I hope, is also very heart warming. That we are at war and our soldiers continue to die is distressing and hurts my heart...I remind all of you that these are all our future, these young men and women who serve and who slip through our fingers...through the power of the cloth - now I mean fat quarters here, people! - and the joy of creating quilts that will warm and give love to those who need that comfort, we must continue to make LEMONADE! Please read the article - buy the magazine - it's inspiring even if I say so my little self! (well I am not so LITTLE but you catch my drift...)
