I love the mental picture you painted. When I stitched "And a Forest
Grew", I changed the quotes used in the piece, and the one in the small
tree now says:

"Breeze is the conductor, trees the musicians, and leaves the instruments."

Excellent quote!

I've added it to my "Sampler Sayings" page. I don't know when I'll
get to it but I'm thinking of squiggly lines, trees and leaves to go
in between the words. :-)

Ah, great or not so great (self) minds thinking alike... Sounds like just
the thing. I was thinking of doing something with some surface or
dimensional work to go with it. It'll be interesting to see how our end
products - some decade - complement each other.

Plus a lovely woman visiting at Sampler Guild this past Saturday gave me a
Martha Washington quote, with a request to design a small sampler. I needed
an inspiration for something not on canvas or Congress - so, that's now on
the sketching pad....But, like Donna, at this point I'm busy with things
that cannot be shown until they meet their various deadlines, destinations,
judges, needlework police, etc.
