Welcome visitors!

Feb 2012 visitors

I would be remiss not to welcome new visitors (I hope some of you are new anyway) to my humble blog. Welcome!

I’ve enjoyed watching the numbers over the past week or so and hope that you’ve enjoyed watching my progress here. I’ve always thought that my blog is the closest thing to having a diary that I’ve ever managed, but it’s mostly about what I do, what I see along the way, things I read, things I think about.

Let’s see, what else do we have. Look above – haiku, links to some of my quilt photos, links to other sites I read regularly, and now, new and improved, the Cat Cam. Yeah all that and more!

Anyway, hope you’ll come back and visit again. Feel free to jump in with your thoughts. Yes comments are moderated but they go through pretty darn quickly, promise!

On to the dark thread

I didn’t have too much further in the “light” area of the top part when I stopped to clean the machine (and boy did it need it!) As I finished it, I wanted to take a moment and look at the before and after of the quilting. I just hung this over a pole and took a couple photos to share, nothing fancy. The closer view was taken without flash and I didn’t mess with it much because I think it shows the quilting more than the ones with flash.

The anti-metaphor

Sometimes a clean machine is just a clean machine.

Metaphors

From the Quote Box tonight:

The metaphor is perhaps one of man’s most fruitful potentialities. Its efficacy verges on magic, and it seems a tool for creation which God forgot inside one of His creatures when He made him. — Jose Ortega y Gasset

Listening to a new playlist designed to keep me sewing and so far it’s pretty compelling. Most are long-time favorites so I get to think about the words and what it all means if I’m not singing along.

The end is in sight for this color and then the end.
