Yesterday a lady whom I'd had connected over Facebook in the month of June this year, called me up from Perth, Australia. Initially she was apologetic for not having responded earlier and then we fell into talking. Gradually I got to know she loves to make dolls, soft toys, quilts for children in the community as part of the community service and that making them is a passion. She has been in Australia for more than two decades. It is something that keeps her centred and creative at the same time. She has been appraised by the community for her work. So when I asked for a sample she shared this picture. I'm waiting for more of such exquisite art pieces.

She said one day when she was completing a quilt it took her more than 5 hrs. So concerned was her husband about her eyes, that he repeatedly told her to leave it for the next day. Finally, when she was done, her eyes were burning. But the next day she was light and cheerful.

I like what the lady in Australia makes dolls for the children in her community.

She is so passionate about it that she doesn't mind giving to others for free.

That's so nice she called you after all this time. Making dolls and quilts for kids just because she loves it says a lot about her. The picture looks lovely, hope you get to see more of her work soon.
