Beauty

This quilt still lives in my mom's linen closet.

My mom and I met for BBQ and beer and went to see Beauty and the Beast over the weekend.

It was so much like the original Disney movie. The music was perfect. The CGI didn't look too bizzaro. Emma Watson was seriously enchanting as the real life version of my favorite character from childhood. It was amazing.

One of my favorite surprises about quilting is the way it has changed the way I experience other things, sometimes when I least expect it. During the movie, I found myself in awe of the colors in Belle's blue dress, the way the fabric in her yellow ballgown seemed to float around her while she danced.

It makes life more like an adventure-- seeing things from a different perspective, noticing beauty you wouldn't have necessarily taken in before.

And don't we all want adventure in the great wide somewhere?

One more reason to Make!
