That symbol has been a favorite of mine for years...I have a hand-carved stamp that I made almost 7 years ago now that I use to mark the back of my cards. (See how much we have in common??) ;) I love your artwork and your stories, my friend...thank you for the continuing inspiration! {{hugs!}}Michelle (aka mybelle101)https://www.blogger.com/profile/18405108294760444323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921156397134629438.post-76871621158598409402009-04-28T21:58:00.000-04:002009-04-28T21:58:00.000-04:00Beautiful Lori!

The theme that I am reminded of is the slogan The Salvation Army church used for many, many years. "Heart to God, Hand to Man". Loved this post and I'll be watching for the next and next this week, looking to see other things you've been inspired to make with this symbol.Teresa aka Tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04518741453497496022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4921156397134629438.post-73649407390162461572009-04-27T09:03:00.000-04:002009-04-27T09:03:00.000-04:00Wow, Lori!

They are the last refuge of the complex." It's so true. I seek simplicity more and more, the older I get. I love this quilt, Lori. What a treasure! (Will you be hanging it at your new home?)
