SUBJECT:
scraps of fabric from
Shelley, a renowned doll-
maker, Fabric from
my project.
Now the quilt made so
delicately, decades ago,
by someone I'll never
know, is a thing of new
beauty, held together
by Susan's napkins,
Shelley's scraps of fabric
and my thread + blood.
This 'new beauty'
interests me - in all
things.
