We are an Easter people
When my mother died several years ago, my sister-in-law Therese sent me a sympathy card with her handwritten message inside: “remember – we are an Easter people”. Her words not only comforted me, but gave strength as well, to my faith in God, and Life, and Love.
Happy Easter to all my loved ones, and many Alleluias today and every day!
I worked on this Easter quilt during Lent, and finished it just a few days ago. I modified a “Crown of Thorns” quilt block pattern, making it a bit simpler, to allow these beautiful fabrics to do all the talking. The quilting pattern is made up of swirls and points.
