Here is my third Union Jack quilt. This time I re-drafted the design a bit, making it paper pieced. It could be my British heritage, the graphic nature of the design, whatever it is, I can't stop making it.
When deciding on a machine quilting design I looked into Celtic and Anglo Saxon designs, eventually settling on a triskele...This is my version.
I also wanted to add some words from the Beatles, Let It Be. I find that as popular as Let It Go is right now, let it be is more me.
Let it be. Don't go poking your nose in. Don't think everyone wants your help as much as you want to give it. Leave things alone. Let sleeping dogs lie and all that. OK so it may sound a little much, but I am learning that the people and situations that want your help will indicate in some way. My habit has been trying to fix/help everything, whether it wanted my fixing or helping or not. Things can work out fine without my help, truly.
Hmm this post is more introspective than I had intended... perhaps January is the time in the year for introspection to surface more easily.
And finally... I changed one of the lines in my quilting to - "For though WE may be parted, there is still a chance that WE can see, there will be an answer, let it be." I believe WE are all in this together :)
