"In Love and Hope"



This is my final piece in 3 Creative Studios' 2010 Art Quilt Challenge Group.

When we got the challenge word "destination", I immediately thought about the plans BSP and I have for our future.


Both of us have had big career plans/changes in mind - have had for a couple of years. But my plans were stalled while I began to lay the groundwork for the initial changes, and BSP's were stalled while I dithered with my own. Were we moving out of the city, the province, the country? Could my groundwork be conducted elsewhere? And if we stayed, how long would we - and where would we? In our current home, or elsewhere? Did we want to invest - even if only in our current home - if we were going to be moving elsewhere soon?

And so, we spun our wheels.

Over the last several months, we came separately to the same conclusion - we each just needed to "go for it" and when/if relocation or other big stuff came, we would deal with it on an as-needed basis. Recently, we came to another joint agreement - we both feel that 2011 is going to be the year that things really start to happen, although we have no idea what those "happenings" will bring.

And so, we go forward on our path towards an unknown destination; hand in hand, in love and hope.
