As I lay in bed last night a few of the comments about the new Mitten Tree quilt passed through my mind as well as one comment made on my first one (mitten quilt)....and there really is a difference in energy between the two.
The first one, was created a year ago, (December 16th post on Blog) and I didn't know the actual meaning of this quilt...until perhaps this one, and it shows a totally different feeling
A year ago, during a conversation about The Storyline, I asked myself who in my ancestry had an impact on me....It was the Aunt who I didn't know,but who like I ran away from her family...Was she like me who had to leave the abuse to save herself?
And that quilt showed the sorrow or grief of approaching the mitten tree of misfits, reluctantly...the pain of having to make a new life, a new family, a new place to fit in.
The juxtaposition in the energies of the two quilts is remarkable...the reverence I felt in the first and then the spirit of bold freedom or lightheartedness in the second.
This new Mitten Tree quilt has the energy of youth.
With a spring in her step she knows where she belongs...
It is like the first quilt was the old me approaching the tree and this one is my young inner self...
Wow....nice to see the difference of energy, of regaining the spirit of joy.
