Meme: Passion Quilt

Several weeks ago, Miguel Guhlin shared a meme for a Passion Quilt on a listserv that I read. I think the request was made in February, but between the trip to Texas, the broken wrist, and my computer being in for repair for nearly 3 weeks, my quilt did not get finished. I actually just finished it now, while I was thinking about some recent problems with a colleague. I tend to be rather protective of things that are important to me, and while there are few things that truly upset me, one thing that inevitably does is something that hits one of my passions. I really don't have that many... technology, volunteer work, reading, and swimming. Some may note that I left off "family", but really, my family is interwoven in all of this because most of my passions came from my family as I grew up. I am also thankful for a supportive note I received from a friend when I asked for some help in figuring out the direction that I wanted to go.
Here's the Quilt:
