Someone once called the raven my 'familiar'- a spirit that guides and protects. Since I have always loved to watch their haughty attitudes as they strut through life in my backyard, my friend was probably right. I do know they seem to pop into quite a few of my quilts without me realizing it. One night after a lecture when I rhapsodized on about my love for crows, a woman in the audience gave me the address of the American Society of Crows and Ravens and I have been receiving their newsletter ever since. Here are just a few of my crows:
