Thoughts from a Walk

This quilt, Stardust, is always a crowd favorite when I give trunk shows or talks. It is comprised of hundreds of 2" star blocks. People often ask how long it took me to make it and if I got tired of the work. I don't know how long it took because I didn't time myself. I didn't get tired of it because I was working on other projects at the same time. I worked a little bit each day and it was sewing that I wanted to be doing. Gradually I could see the piles growing and I started sewing the blocks together to make bigger ones.  And then eventually I had enough blocks to complete a queen sized quilt.

Yesterday while walking, I thought about how we can make big changes in the world. And I think it's like making this quilt. We show up each day and do what we can and when we all do a little bit, over time we can make something big, even world changing!
