Breaking Traditions


Finally my computer is working again with a new computer! So I can upload and share my entry for Breaking Traditions sewing expo in Michigan. I chose to honor Hospice. They are a wonderful group who cared for my mother in her final hours. They understand so well what the family is going through. I placed a Hospice worker caring for someone encircling them with not only their hands but all of the Hospice workers. Their hands help to brighten a person's final days but in the end must fade away but are still there for the remaining family members as needed.

Love your quilt! The inner hand looks so loving! Great idea and wonderful piece of work.

this is simply gorgeous. i love the way your counterclockwise positioning of the hands makes me feel a sense of "movement" ... and "passing."
