There is something
holy
about taking those
mundane
pieces of
everyday life and elevating them...
lifting them a bit higher..
with their tears,
and scratches...
snippets of long ago weddings...
empty button cards saved
to remember a special shirt or blouse..
I think that in
celebrating the past..
and combining
the memories...
we tell new stories
of friendship, family...
life
and love...
assembling
collages...
pulling old crumpled
memorabilia together
and stitching it to the page..
we open a door
to
a new future
a new way of looking at things..
and allow life to spill off
the page...
with gratitude to
Sew Somerset for publishing this collection
and my article
The Sisterhood of Sewing...
ciao, ciao!
