To The Stars Through Difficulties

 We were recently invited to a

Christmas Party

in Scottsdale, Arizona

where Mr. Cactus does

some consulting work.

Right as we walked in,

glancing past all of the lovely food on display,

I immediately noticed

an exquisite quilt

that was the center

of attention on

one of the board room walls.

(I must be a quilter:)

 Ad Astra

Per Aspra

in Latin

translates

To the Stars Through Difficulties

Made by Art Quilter and

Fiber Artist
