| My palette |
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...

Why I do not need to go to Rhinebeck
Artists do need palettes and I do support my creative self. I was all set to go to Rhinebeck this year, and then decided to do a photographic inventory of my actual yarn stash. This little collage represents part of it. My eventual plan is to attach all of it to needles and projects with charts and manage it in the consumer database program called Bento. So you see how it has taken over my life. I need a database program to organize my hobby. But since I like actual collecting and organizing and Bento, I guess I can call it all a part go what it is that I do with this creative energy that I have in good supply.
I should do a photographic inventory of my fabric stash. that would stop me from buying anymore!
