The quilts I make are not clever.
They are not intellectual.
The quilts I make are love stories.
Remember this.
Remember that quilts are love stories.
Often, quilts are gifts.
We sleep with them.
They touch us.
Quilts are a language of care.
Quilts are not about the things that happen out in the world,
Quilts help us recover from that world,
Quilts protect us when we sleep and dream.
Quilts also comfort the ones who make them.
That is the language of care.
