Long Ago Acquaintance


















I joined Facebook last year and it has been fun to renew friendships with old acquaintances. Paul West and I met in college where we became close friends, then we went our separate ways and lost contact. So this has been my year to renew old friendships. The older we become the more we cherish the friendships we made in our youth. Maybe it's a way of retaining our youth because we still see them like they were years ago. We are still the same inside even though we have changed a 'little' on the outside.

This photo was taken in my studio and Paul is standing next to one of my old art quilts named "Voices in Fabric". I finished this quilt early in 2000 for an invitational exhibit titled Voices in Fabric and it contains a block that represents each of my friends that were also participants. I've lost contact with some of these friends but I have this quilt to remember them by.
