April Showers bring May Flowers is a reminder, that heavy cold rains in April, an unpleasant thing for us, is a blessing for flowers that need water to grow. It is a lesson in patience, a promise that a period of discomfort will change to a period of happiness when we see an abundance of flowers.
There are some realistically looking flowers in my quilt, and others are just outlined. That is because even when I don't see flowers in my window, I remember those that are already past their peak, how beautiful they used to be, and I dream about those that are yet to come
