continuing our love songs for the month of February...
for love of people, critters, the earth and life... this song reminds those of us on the second half to love...
life
love never dies... it can change but if you ever loved, it's still there in your heart
I just sewed them together... and then decided to finish the edges, using piping and a turned seam. I had some red piping the right size in my scrap box, and glue basted it in place
trimmed, and sewed the backing to this using the zipper foot and going slowly. Leaving a small space to turn it inside out,
but then I talked to my friend Cindy and said shall I applique it onto a background?
I cut a piece of peltex to give it body, stuffed it in and quilted the whole thing with gold threads
chose some beads to use
I put gold and red bugle beads for X's or hugs, some gold balls and made fringe for the bottom
didn't use these... maybe next year
I made another quick heart quilt I'll share later for Table Scraps challenge... stay tuned and now
For the love songs I'm showcasing this month...
remember my friends I love you just the way you are....
and a special song for me...

has that happened to you?

continuing the songs of love for the month of February, please enjoy this song
As a young woman, I dated a musician ... he played guitar in a band and sang beautifully.
I sat at the girlfriend's table as the band played. He also played music for me at home, wrote songs for me and eventually said he loved me.,.. then asked me to marry him.
we didn't match however and it taught me the lesson that love is not enough... it is all good, I still hold memories of my time with him and am grateful. I am not Jewish therefore his family would not accept me in any way. Heritage and expectations were in the way. I will always remember the time we shared and how I it felt to belong to the band group and how it felt to have a talented man write a song for me.
So many experiences in my life...
while I was in them I worried I'd never find true love but eventually music brought me together with my husband, at a contra dance. Ironically he now plays guitar, and I listen from the other room, and imagine he's playing for me since he finds songs to play he knows I love...happily, we do match.
have you learned any lessons from relationships?
my songs for today:
the more I see you...
to a bossa nova beat... I love how singers put their artistic spin on music!
I have a lovely memory of an evening spent watching an old movie on our big tv set... the parents were away and Tatee, my caretaker my safe and loving space, was dozing in a chair next to me. I sat enthralled as a young child, learning what romance was. The movie and title song stuck with me and I sang it often as if I was on broadway...
every experience shapes us.... the happy and the sad, the good and the bad... and I wonder how much we have in us by the end of life. So many experiences and missed experiences, and I find people fascinating. I want to hear your stories, the ones that shaped you... if only we all felt safe enough to share our real selves... right? |
