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...

Another kind of summer sampler
From the book "Knitting Lace, a Workshop with Patterns and Projects" a book by Susanna E. Lewis. Wherein I decided I will learn to make lace and actually practice a small thing before leaping in lock, stock and spinning wheel.
Oooh, knitting lace is so much fun!! There are some gorgeous lace shawl patterns around -- it's really all about yarn overs and k2tog most of the time. Have fun!! I hope you show more as you go along!
