Wall hanging made by Janet Rutkowski, ca. 2007. Quilted in colors of@brown, yellow, orange, and green, it is four “tree of life” blocks with the trunk pointing towards the center of the piece. The bright oranges and yellows bring the burning bush into the piece as well. A treasured gift, in honor of my 2003 ordination to the Ministry of Word and Sacrament in the PCUSA.
