Dream Rocket Project (part 3)

TQS Ritzy, CMoellers, LadyQuilter and I have been collaborating on a quilt for the Dream Rocket Project. I last told you about it in September and August (click on the link to see the previous posts). 

All four sister quilts are now at my studio and have been joined together into one quilt.  Some special fabric is on its way and will be the special crowning touch. 

When thinking about a subject for the quilt, I thought of the online community of sewers, painters, journalers, quilters and textile artists. There is so much support for one another and yet we have never met in person. We share successes and stories, tips and techniques, and even heartaches when they come.  And this is just one facet (yet an important facet) of my community.

 My dream is that everyone has a community in their life to support, sustain and in turn to encourage to do their part as a member of the global community.

Here are a few patches  that you will find in the crazy quilt of my community:

Astrodome - filled with cots after Hurricane Katrina

Church - teaches us what is truly important and how to be better than we are

School - educates and prepares us for next steps

Military - strives keeps the world safe (GO NAVY, my husband is class of '73!)

SAQA, TQS group,  bloggers, and online community - such a special part of my life

Family - the young children, the oldsters, those with us and those no longer with us but whom we will never forget

Red Cross - after my parents ranch was destroyed by a tornado

Work, vacation and celebrations - remembering the important times and people our life

 Police and Fire Fighters after 9/11 - enough said.
