The story
Everyone brought a piece of fabric with a story. Mine came from a faded curtain. Another neighbor brought the sleeve of a shirt too worn to mend.
We arranged the scraps into trees, houses, and a winding river. The stitches varied as much as the colors. An experienced sewer helped a child thread a needle, and someone who had never sewn before made the brightest square of all.
When we hung the finished piece, I could point to my small corner, but I could not separate it from the whole. That was what I loved: the artwork held our differences together without making them disappear.
