A GRATITUDE KIND OF DAY

 

Maybe Harriette, my quilting teacher, thought that if I quilted I would get a better handle on numbers.  You do need math to quilt.   It hasn’t worked out that way.  I do few quilts, and when Harriette was alive I’d call her with any numerical questions.  Now I ask George.  All questions are numerical if you are quilting.

I found a pile of cut fabrics at the Cancer Society thrift store.  They are going to make up a new North Star quilt.  I have it laid out already on my work tables.  Solid colors.  Happy and bright.  I’ll take lots of photos as I go along.  It’s going to be twin sized, so the agony of creation will be a little less than the usual King sized quilt inspires in me.

  • <A HREF=http://geeeee-zer.blogspot.com/>Himself:</A>   Laundry, grocery shopping online, games in space, reading….boy he is busy.
  • Myself:  Reading and writing here, cutting parts of the new quilt, reading and eating.
  • Reading:  Volume 3 of the Harry Potter series.
  • Watching:  60 minutes, and North woods law.
  • Photo:  Mine:  House quilt. Each block is a famous house out of the architectural history books except for the camper and the downtown house.
  • Weather:72 F/ 22C….sunny and beautiful.
  • Gratitude’s:  1. That G found some yogurts that look like they will be fun to eat for breakfast.  2. That I have a new project started.  3. G made the bed with the old, Jacobs Ladder, white quilt.  4. Doctor’s appointment by phone today.

  1. Wow! That is a very impressive quilt, Mage. I love that machine embroidery work you've done. I would have broken a 100 needles doing something like that.

  6. So it takes math huh? That is probably why I never took up quilting. I really like that one with the houses. Didn't know you were doing mostly king size. Yikes. Hey twins need quilts too.

  7. I think that quilting has really gotten into your blood as the saying goes. I understand that it does that. 😀
