Yes I went to the mall today. First my mother and I helped Naomi pin baste a quilt for machine quilting. THEN it was off to the mall. First to the apple store of course. Then to Macy’s. Then a few other places. I got a few doodads. Ack. Crossing the road that runs around the mall to get to my car was taking my life into my own hands. yikes!

Now I’m home. OK. I did buy a few things for myself. A second pair of jeans for work. And while I was there, a bright chartreusey sort of green jacket/shirt/sweater. Double breasted no less. I think wearing black every day at work is starting to get to me!

Questions about Fruitcake you say?

Posted on December 7, 2001 by Mary Beth Frezon

I had been interviewed about fruitcake recently – here’s the article! Thanks Marty.

WHY did I get interviewed? Let’s just say, I’m the founder of The Society for the Protection and Preservation of Fruitcake.

For those who still are looking at photos of 9-11-01 and wondering what it was all about, here’s a wonderfully handled montage of photos. Painful, hard to look at, astonishing, horrifying, not for the weak of heart. Requires shockwave plug-in.

I’m not sure how you’re doing, gentle reader, but I’m still processing all this. Sometimes I don’t want to think about it at all. Sometimes it rises within me like a power I can’t control. I reassure myself that all these things, including my fatigue are normal.

Yesterday my 9-11 quilt returned from Houston where it was part of the special exhibit at the big quilt show there. I’m hoping we’ll be able to arrange for a showing of a group of these quilts at NYQuilts! in June 2002. [Quick aside about NYQ! – tonight I launched the newly-redone and still developing site. Still pretty simple but easy to navigate.]

If I were a work of art…

Posted on December 5, 2001 by Mary Beth Frezon
If I were a work of art, I would be Edgar Degas’ Dance Class.
I appear soft and gentle, but hide a core of rigid structure and discipline. I work hard and follow orders, because I am determined to succeed, but remain attached to displays of frivolity and maintaining my appearance.
