V's Version

Blooms and blossoms and green and growing
The true colors of this quilt are finally showing
Where will it go?
I am not knowing!

There were some intense moments today when I did the magnolia panel that the flower is on the first stages of decline. In it, I used the fabric of a woman who is currently in an abusive relationship (I'm trying to be a refuge and help her get out) and of my mother who, of course, did not make it out in time. Heavy. Many tears and genuine hope that the cycles of abuse are just that - cycles and not prisons . I must believe that it is possible to change - to get out. The reality is that most don't. But I have to believe, you know? And walk the walk.
