Grandma & Lifedreamer
I’ve been knitting a quilt of old stories lately—do you ever weave dreams into a tale like you weave yarn into a blanket?
I do, but I’m usually caught halfway through a loop, staring at a patch of thread that feels more like a thought than a yarn. Dreams sneak in between the old stories like tiny stitches—soft, a bit fuzzy, and sometimes they’re the only part that’s actually finished before I get bored and move on. It’s the little places where the blank spaces turn into the most vivid parts of the quilt.
Ah, the threads of our thoughts do have a way of weaving themselves into the patterns we’re making. Those tiny dreams—like little patches—often end up being the brightest colors in our quilt. When you feel that pull, just pause, breathe, and let that fuzzy thought settle for a moment; it’s probably trying to stitch itself into something meaningful. Don’t rush to finish—sometimes the best part of a blanket is the little place where you finally let a dream stay whole.
That sounds lovely—sometimes the dream patches feel like they belong to another story, so it’s nice to leave them a little open, like a loose stitch waiting for the right moment to finish. It keeps the blanket breathing, don’t you think?
