LOVE quilt tutorial and pattern download

Last weekend's events made me feel numb. I just don't understand it, no matter how many NPR shows I listen to analyzing the latest information. I'm so sick and tired of the anguish and terror that spreads in the name of religion or ideology. Enough is enough.

Let's take our focus and direct it on each other with compassion and kindness, without expectations, without worrying about our ego, and give all our energy to thinking good things. I'm not saying have your head in the clouds and ignore what's happening. No, not at all. I'm saying don't give your focus and energy to it. Acknowledge it - and move on. Make a difference in your tiny corner of the world, somehow-no matter how small the act of kindness is it will be noticed--right?


It could be so amazing.

Because Humans are amazing.

**UPDATE**------ quilt is signed and ready to ship. It's going to Hospital Headquarters in Paris, where my friend Romain, has promised to get it to the hospital. He states this in his email back to me: "thank you very much to you and your community to this witness of compassion."

I hope in some small way this will make a difference to somebody out there.

After last weekend's events, it's easy to think humanity is doomed. But it's the opposite. If you pay attention to history, things have gotten better over time. Much better. A few fools can't bring down the whole world. No way man. Not a chance.





So here's my little pattern for you, for your sewing happiness. Doesn't matter where you send it, or to whom, or if you keep it yourself. It's a  reminder to remain loving and kind. To do the best you can. And to stay the course.
