It is funny that I would choose to do a representation of this story as I really think the 'wee man' is a meany and quite unlovable. However, the imagery of him blowing into the dandelion fluff and disappearing in it was to great a lure for my mind. I imagine like all storylisteners and those whose hunger to be storysaver'rs, we disappar into the story. Perhaps, like the dandelion fluff seeds, we will ride on the currents of the wind and plant the seed for storytelling in each of our families and communities.

The legacy of the National StorySave Project, through the CDs it produces as well as through the quilts, can be considered some of these seeds. Congratulations to who ever wins this quilt this year, may you know that every block is made by a storytellers for a storyteller about storytelling. May you enjoy the stories created by these artisans from across the county, may you also share the stories.
