Crazy Quilt
Posted on 10/22/09, 05:52 pm
A traditional Crazy Quilt is made from tiny, precious scraps of fabric, stitched together in weird shapes in no particular order, and then lovingly and carefully hand-embellished in as many different ways as possible.
So, we put our minds together. Not back together, because we were hurt at such a young age that we were never whole. So, we quilt our minds together for the first time. It requires great patience. But when we are done, it makes of us a work of art, the work of our own hands.
How terrible it is when some doctor blanketed us in a store-bought pill-bottle white cotton ball, instead of allowing us the time to stitch ourselves together into the beautiful work of art we each could be.
