More about Gifts

Posted on | December 7, 2007 |

I have been working on gifts for the staff at my infusion center and one of the nurses at the free clinic. I’ve been working on the totes and I’ve completed the collaged quilts that are going to adorn the front of the totes. To the left are two of the three completed quilties. Three are done and a fourth is in process. I’ll post them all when they’re all done. I hope to finish at least one by the end of the weekend.

And I just spent the day with Angie, who brought me the MOST amazing 40th birthday gift. Ever. It’s to the right here, and the pictures, well, they do not give it justice. It’s a fabric sculpture, really. It’s 40 beaded prayer pillows sewn together to hang on the wall (which was just what I did as soon as she handed it to me!).

Angie is perhaps the most genuine person I have ever known. She is who she is. She truly a beautiful person inside and out. And our friendship has become one of the closest relationships I’ve ever had in my life. I can’t express how amazing it is to me that Angie and I met at Art Unraveled here in town in 2006 - yes. that’s just 15 months ago! It feels like we have been friends forever. And there was some sort of Divine intervention in getting us together. I don’t think I knew, before our friendship, how much I was missing that close relationship with a female friend. And now, well, I could not imagine my life without her. Angie, I love you and I am blessed to have you in my life.

I’m off to work on the final qultie and to start working on the tote construction.
