The Moon Quilt

by

Sunny Warner

Synopsis:	It is a day in June, and the old woman is sitting on her porch with her cat. She has fallen asleep and is dreaming of her husband, who was lost at sea. When she wakes up, the old woman is smiling. She goes to the quilt she is making and cuts new pieces of cloth, to sew her dream into its design. As the season turns and the moon waxes and wanes, the quilt grows beneath the old woman's needle, recording life as it flows around her. When at last the quilt is complete, she sleeps and finally joins her husband in his boat sailing past the moon.
Discussion Topics:	Utilizing art as an expression of one's life experiences; death
