Katrina Temari

The members of Talk Temari regularly draw names and stitch temari for each other. When Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, one of the TT members was in the path of destruction. She and her daughter were able to move in with friends until their home was cleaned out. They went shopping for some personal things to make their temporary room theirs. The daughter selected the colors. Some of them clashed in mom's unvoiced opinion. When the story was shared on TT, the next temari swap was a Katrina theme. We could only stitch in the colors which the daughter had selected.

 

We had an odd number of participants in that swap, so I volunteered to have two partners. I also made two extra temari in those colors to send to the mother and daughter in the story. Many of the stitchers in the swap elected to put the Pink and Orange on opposite ends of the temari. I put them side by side. I don't think they clash. Do you?
