Patience

My husband is a painter, he paints pictures of cityscapes, sea turtles, and he’s even done a few portraits.  His paintings are beautiful!  My favorite part of his paintings is how the picture comes into view on the canvas.  Every day there is more and more of the total picture coming into focus.

It’s like that too with my quilts and other sewing projects.  Large pieces of fabric are cut into smaller pieces and then sewn back into colorful works of art. 

The process is something that requires patience – which isn’t very easy to have sometimes, but when working with art it becomes part of its beauty.  

The finished project is always fantastic, but it’s the creation or the process of something beautiful that makes me smile!
