The current project is for an event that will take place a little less than a year from now, May of 2017. My young friend who is the proposed recipient has worked hard to get where she is already and eleven months from now a major milestone will pass.
It feels sort of like the old wives' tale of not giving baby gifts prior to the birth but barring an unforeseen calamity this young woman, of very modest immigrant background, with nothing but her own hard work and ability will graduate from Harvard College. There have been bumps in the road and struggles along the way but she deserves every accolade anyone can dream up.
The quilt is far from done but my husband and I, with two of our furry friends, were trying out the material for the sashing. There will be an appliqued swag border as well. In the Baltimore tradition with the hidden language of symbols and inked inscriptions, these four blocks praise her achievement and her good character. The animals approve.
