Life Lessons Learned While Quilting

If it has to be done, make it fun.
Look everywhere and see all there is to see,
even if no one else sees it.
See life through the eyes of an artist
Look for life’s colors, shapes, textures,
and shades of light and dark.
Don’t shut down when you face problems;
open up to ALL of life’s experiences.
Learn the same thing as often as necessary until you know it by heart.
Multi-task without multi-tasking, make what you do accomplish several things at once.
Take whatever comes to you in life and transform it into a beautiful adventure.
Scrap Lady Sharon Barnes

The psychological truth in “The Red Shoes” is that a woman’s meaningful life can be pried, threatened, robbed or seduced away from her unless she holds on to or retrieves her basic joy and wild worth. The tale calls our attention to traps and poisons we too easily take onto ourselves when we are caught in a famine of wild soul.
