HOPE

Hope is a powerful thing.

Here is the encyclopedias explanation of HOPE:

HOPE is a belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one’s life. Hope implies a certain amount of perseverance – i.e., believing that a positive outcome is possible even when there is some evidence to the contrary.

This piece is 5"x7" and started with an antique silk crazy quilt piece. It will be listed on eBay Sunday evening. Super size image by clicking on it.
