The Matriarchs Met The Patriarchs
My dad used to say it was plain luck. The analogy he repeatedly quoted was that of a dart board- maybe there is a little skill in there, being able to locate the dart and the place to throw it , but after that, fortune rules.
My mom came from a long line of strong matriarchs. Life on life’s terms taught them that independence, perseverance, plus recognizing and making the right action was the key to success.
When my mom spied my dad on the 71 streetcar going to classes at Pitt- she knew she had herself a path. She figured out who he was, how she could meet him and as is said: the rest is history.
Sadie & Howie coming together create the fortunate product of their daughter, me, the best from both worlds- my dad’s humanity and my mom’s practicality. The quilt below was made from my mom’s favorite suit- denim with a touch of sparkle- that was them to a tee.
