A Piecework Life

Pieced: (verb) to piece, to join together, to complete by adding something more.

A quilter is someone who seeks art in fabric. She can choose fabrics that are made for each other, where the colors flow together peacefully. Or she can choose fabrics that seem to be incongruous but make them work together through the pattern of the quilt. By piecing together scraps of fabric that are nothing by themselves, a quilter can make something bigger and beautiful; the piecework quilt.

This blog is my attempt to piece together the bits of my life into a harmonious quilt. The bits of life that come to me may not be my own choosing, but by turning them this way or that, trimming off this unraveled edge and placing it by something complimentary, they become my piecework life.

Thanks for reading!
