Threads of Life is a photographic tribute to the unexpected; to heart-touching children and to life-altering events. Upon retirement, the author chose a new approach. She relaxed her life-long habit of goal setting and aggressive pursuit, to one of mindful watching and listening for opportunities to seek her out. The result is the inspiring tale, Threads of Life. This three part tribute honors the continuing journey that can provide us with what is in our best interest at the time. It honors children's creativity and the charm of thirteen young artists' original artwork. And finally, Threads of Life pays tribute to the culture of Quilting, where legacy looms large. Thus, we come full circle. By creating quilt gifts inspired by the artwork of deceased and critically ill children, the author seeks to connect comfort and legacy for each of the families she sews for. But who has really received the gift? A step-by-step quilt-making procedure; as well as dozens of colorful photographs are included in hopes of inspiring readers who sew.
