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...

snow day....
I think I am staying in. Maybe a good day to bake bread and make soup.. makes a nice picture though:) I am happy to have an unexpected day off. ALthough New York state has not declared a state of emergency, I think everyone should stay home.
Oh Martha, that's way to much snow! I guess Philly is just as bad; the NFL is playing its first Tuesday night game since 1946 because of the snow - Vikings vs. Eagles. brrr It's cold in Texas (in the 30s) but no snow, thank God.
Wow -- did you ever get a lot of snow!! We'e had none so far. But it's very windy. Glad you're staying in -- I can imagine what the roads must be like!
BRRRR!!! I think you're right, a day to stay in for sure! What a lot of snow!!
