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...

label for Four seasons swap
four season swap is labeled bound and done done. I will pack it up and mail it off tomorrow. I am not sure if I am supposed to post a picture or wait til it is received so I will wait a bit until my partner gets it. I am hoping she really likes it!
So pretty - I love sheep and french knots!
