New Year, New Decade, New Word

I wonder what this next decade will bring for us all and

for the planet!

The disasters happening presently around the world and

close to home in Australia are unbelievable.

However, enough said on that subject, on to things to lighten our hearts.

My word for this year is a little different in that it's Greek

and there is no English equivalent word!

Basically it means to do something with soul, creativity, passion or love,

to put a piece of yourself into what you're doing.

It could be applied to so many things in life.

I don't remember where nor when I came across Meraki, I've hunted

for my Greek language book from aeons ago but can't find it. 

I looked for translations on the internet and they more or less all

have the same interpretation as above.

For me right now I'm putting Meraki into the making of the quilt shown

in my last post, and below, for my friend who haas cancer.

A few more mixed diamonds are on the wall, I will be shifting

them around when all are up there, but given the layout above

measurements would be

49" across x 72" down

and I don't want to go any longer but wonder if the width is sufficient

for a lap quilt, feedback would be welcome!

That's all from me today, I'm hoping to have more quiet time to work

out quilting goals and projects for this year over the next few days.
