13. VIII. 19
dearest Karen
I visited one of my fabric
shops this morning and this
card appeared. Of course I
thought of you stitching your
beautiful quilts.
I'm comforted to know
that women across the globe
are stitching their prayers
into their creations. I
believe that women will
mend the soul of world.
With you in spirit, dear friend,
as we stitch and pray.
Love you dearly,
Sibbee
Or we choose the
life of mending we stitch
a quilt back together
Or we stitch a friendship
Or we try on and on and on
continued
