These drawings and writings were turned into a beautiful piece of art by volunteers at SAFE in Hunterdon from both New jersey and Florida. The power behind these images and writings inspired a poem by the quilter: The Quilt of Life A quilt is made of many pieces, fabrics rich and of varied textures All stitched together to form a beautiful, pleasing gift to the heart and soul And warmth beyond measure, truly a treasure We, like the most exquisite quilt, are made and put together With loving care by our mutual God above, all meant to blend together We are many colors, textures and varieties And oh, that we could meld together like the quilt with all that tender care How warm, safe and lovely this earth would be Wouldn’t that be something to see… By Josie Wiggins, a piece of life’s quilt Special thanks to: Amy Davis, Lisa Mejia, Kim Mackanic, Macheis Wind, Mary O’Brien, Cyndie Wiggins, and Josie Wiggins |
