I decided to go with the variation of choosing the Vala with whom I can identify, who has something in common with me; therefore I chose Vairë the Weaver. I like the little that is said about her:
Quote:

[She] weaves all things that have ever been in Time into her storied webs, and the halls of Mandos that ever widen as the ages pass are clothed with them.
|
That certainly relates to my love of patchwork and quilting! It also reminds me of a line spoken by the Lothlórien Elves that has become my motto:
Quote:
|
We put the thought of all that we love into all that we make.
|
If even a mighty Elven ruler like Galadriel wove fabrics, I am certainly in good company!
