2011 BAABC Quilt Time!

Well, it's that time of year again to begin working on the annual breast cancer quilt project coordinated by Jeanette Shanigan in beautiful Wasilla, Alaska. Last year, our group of beaders stitched 90 squares and Jeanette generously stitched them into a "New Mexico" quilt (and a private donation was made to the cause by a local businessman). The "New Mexico" quilt is displayed proudly at Lodi's Beads in Bosque Farms, NM. This year's theme is the "hand" - and our first stitching session is this weekend at Lodi's Beads (from 10:00 - 2:00). I'm looking forward to seeing the familiar faces that help stitched last years squares; and I'll be sad that our dear friend Anita will not be there after succumbing to this terrible disease just a few short weeks ago.

My Tarot Card

You are The Empress

Beauty, happiness, pleasure, success, luxury, dissipation.

The Empress is associated with Venus, the feminine planet, so it represents, beauty, charm, pleasure, luxury, and delight. You may be good at home decorating, art or anything to do with making things beautiful.

The Empress is a creator, be it creation of life, of romance, of art or business. While the Magician is the primal spark, the idea made real, and the High Priestess is the one who gives the idea a form, the Empress is the womb where it gestates and grows till it is ready to be born. This is why her symbol is Venus, goddess of beautiful things as well as love. Even so, the Empress is more Demeter, goddess of abundance, then sensual Venus. She is the giver of Earthly gifts, yet at the same time, she can, in anger withhold, as Demeter did when her daughter, Persephone, was kidnapped. In fury and grief, she kept the Earth barren till her child was returned to her.
