Besides our tessaducks talent here in our community, she is also a fantastically gifted quilter! All my wonky connections and points would drive her to distraction, grin. I tried, Brenda. It's just I can't stay in the lines, on the line, or close to the line! So here is my Sketch Challenge...as straight as I can.
My card is also for the Teapotter this week, Comforting Thoughts. I'm betting the recipients won't notice the wonks and I am praying they will feel the love that was crafted into each corner.
When I thought on what to create for these challenges, I was struck with how when a loved one passes away, we have that first year of all the holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, monumental occasions we still remember and celebrate. And so I wanted to convey the passing of seasons to honor this young boy. The Memory Box dp's gave me lots of choices to mark the passing of time.
And the scripture from Psalm 91:4 talking about a safe place and refuge. I love that no matter how tragic or unfathomable the problem, there is someone bigger than us who will carry us over burdens. It is my hope this family will feel the peace in strangers who send art created from the HE{art}.
Thank you very much for your thoughts, they tenderly are like a salve in times like this.

I love how you pieced the flowers on your focal point diamond. And those background "quilted" pieces are fantastic the way you have them arranged. A very comforting card. Yes, faith is indeed a blessing! xoxox

I hear that, Susan. This was a tough sketch for me, too. You are my kindred spirit :0)
Straight or not, this is the most wonderful comforting quilt for our tea party recipients. I LOVE it! The passing of the seasons is a brilliant theme and that sentiment is spot on.
