Frances – I hadn’t noticed that double cultural connection, but you are so right, and that makes it even more precious.

Gail – The quilt is quite breathtaking in its design, and joins a dear friend with an extraordinary period of our life.
Lisa – The quilt and the friendships are treasures indeed.
Carol – I originally thought it would be hard to find appropriate items for Muse Day, but it has been one of my favorite memes because it has given me a wonderful lens and focus. Thank you again Carolyn gail.
Donna – I have always been lucky and I am smart enough to realize that and treasure the important people in my life.

I spent a little time studying the quilt before reading the poem and your narrative, Pat. Instantly the Chinese connection was apparent, but the checkerboard is very country United States to me. A fine juxtaposition of styles that speak well of the quilter and it’s proud owner. The poem is perfect as well.

What a beautiful quilt Pat! How delighted you must have been to receive it as a gift. Carol’s poem is very powerful … beautiful. So lovely that you have special connections to both of your offerings today. carol

The poem and quilt are both remarkable. I’m a big fan of quilts, especially those that tell a story. My mother died when I was four but she was a master quilter and left her masterpiece to comfort me.

I didn’t know that you spent time in China. I have great respect and admiration for the Chinese culture and its ancient wisdom.

Thank you for sharing these meaningful musings with us.
