My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

semi contour
I did not like this picture at first but it grew on me. It was tucked away in my notebook and after it was out of sight for a while, I liked it better.
Plus as I have been busy this week and not visited your blog for a few days, I must comment on how much I love your recent posts, your giraffe is lovely, the new bathroom has me drooling in envy and the UFOs pinned up on the wall is a good idea to give you an incentive to get them finished.
I like it too! It has a French style
