The Divorce Chronicles:Staying on the Bright Side1 - My divorce was ugly and it uprooted me and my three Saint Bernards. Quilting and my Saints along with family and friends have kept me going during this dark time. So I challenged myself to make 12 quilts this year, using black batik as the background representing the divorce and bright colors to represent hope, rebirth, life, love, fun, etc. I never used black so much before this and found I love it!
