Square # 40 - Aunt Anne Devlin

This fabric is a remnant from the fabric that Anne used to create Lily's nursery when they were adopting her in 2002.

This square is meant as a Red Thread connection between two Chinese Cousins.

I did not plant you, true.

But when the season is done-

When the alternate prayers for sun and rain are counted.

When the pain of weeding and the pride of watching are through.

Then I will hold you high

A shining sheaf above the thousand seeds grown wild

Not my planting, but by Heaven, my harvest, MY OWN CHILD.
