Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
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.
ReplyDeleteR. what is a crazy quilt??
ReplyDeleteso much longing today... something is being called into "Being"
Hello, Barbara--I'm glad you had another successful expedition so soon after the first one--and with good animal sightings, too!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
