In our area of Texas, school children of all ages enter art projects in a Rodeo art competition in the weeks leading up to the rodeo in Houston. Skye won a ribbon for her entry, titled Crazy Quilt. I have always loved crazy quilts, and have a few pillow covers and one quilt made by my grandmother in this fashion. I like the stories told by the various scraps of fancy fabrics. I like remembering my grandmother's hands when I trace my fingers over the feather stitching and briar stitches outlining the quilt patches. One day soon, I will show Skye the art fashioned by her great great grandmother.
