Ahhhhh, this is where the "Raven" theme comes in. The story of the Raven comes from I Kings 17:1-6 where the prophet Elijah flees from the evil King Ahab to the brook of Cherith. It was here that the ravens fed Elijah "bread and meat in the morning, and bread and meat in the evening", a reminder of God's providence and hope.

I myself can not look at a raven or a large black bird anymore without thinking of this passage from scripture. Icons of pests that cause great agricultural damage, I see in them a silver lining.

Indeed, I always find a location for my signature cascade of fabric, even if it is tucked away tightly in a corner.

This particular Carpet Bag is composed predominately of black fabric. I have used many different textures and patterns to bring flavor and variety. A closer look will reveal velvet, taffeta, a cotton blend with tan polka-dots, gingham, a raised flora print of black on black poly blend, and a confident black and tan paisley. The "cascade"
