"A pagan theme", was my daughter's response to the question about the design of her quilt.
Her degree in philosophy and electives in theology reveal her interest in ideas and beliefs. Combine it with my interest in myths, stories and their telling, inner wisdom and the divine feminine - and the theme of the quilt is easily decided.

I want the quilt to be a cloak of comfort and protection. It must be soft and warm, something that enfolds her in a sense of security, a place to escape the daily demands where she can relive her triumphs, mourn the losses, untangle the issues, and restore her equilibrium. A tall order for my limited skills. But what I have in abundance is the need to continue to nurture her, and each stitch will secure that intention.
