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...

I am in the road again on the way to Virginia. I have packed enough handwork to keep me busy till Christmas 2010. I unearthed my kit of 4.5 inch lemoyne square shapes and I will be working with them to add to my sampler quilt. Mostly pinks which blend into the brights well:) Stitching on the road makes me happy.
Martha,
ReplyDeleteYou are amazing. It looks like woods on both sides of the road.
Where were you at the time of
the photo?

Love the pic out the windshield! lol. Looks like the dashboard serves well as a layout area. Keep those pictures coming...
