9/20: conceptual quilting breakthrough

I don't quilt, and I'll probably never become a quilter. But I like the idea of piecing together fabrics, and I'd especially like to try my hand at something like a crazy quilt. I've looked at crazy quilt directions over the years, but they've never really clicked. Today it finally hit me how it works. So easy (at least as a concept). I'm not sure why I could never quite "get" it before. Now I'm very (very!) eager to give it a try.

Arrived safely home after another tent weekend with Younger Daughter. She saw a fox. I saw a rabbit, a flock of geese in V formation and 3 deer.

Hello, Barbara--I'm glad you had another successful expedition so soon after the first one--and with good animal sightings, too!

I hope, Elaine, that whatever is being called into Being is a good thing. And if you go to the wikipedia article on crazy quilting (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crazy_quilting), you can see an example. It's a kind of quilting with scraps, usually with embroiderered embellishment along some of the seams. Now that I understand the process behind it, I can't get it out of my mind!
