Did you make it in one piece to Friday?
Last night I started the hand-sewing part of the deal: sewing the binding and sleeve down. I know it’s just a couple nights’ work but it takes some perseverance and maybe some stupid TV shows. I always start just before a corner so I can gallop down the last side and be done with it. And I start at a side with a sleeve because it’s a bit harder and I often sew it down with a parallel needle and thread. Ah the tricks to get through it all.
East Side Quilters hosted their annual getaway and it was very conducive to getting much done on quilting front. Finished the borders, made the binding and spent a lot of quality time with fabric and machine. Even did some “shop hopping” on the way home. eeks! I’ve thrown a few iphone photos of the borders onto the gallery page, so enjoy!
And thanks to Mom and everyone for a fun time at schroon.
ok so the center of Summer Seen From September, 2001 is 95 per cent quilted and some decisions now as to what to do with the borders. Go here for some photos! Official portrait soon enough.
I wrote these and “read” them in various locations in Azeroth tonight.
Mage Haiku
I.
Ask not for a port
Lest the mage, who does hear you,
Puts you on ignoreII.
He asks again for port?
The mage seems not to listen.
Theramore awaits.III
Make mage food they ask.
Again and again they ask.
The mage has vent off.IV.
They want some mage food.
The mage wants a thousand gold
And some epics please.
and from my mother’s:
Fog
The fog comes
on little cat feet.It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.— Carl Sandburg
Tomorrow is “Poem in your pocket” day! Read a poem or two and share!
Children seldom misquote you. In fact, they usually repeat word for word what you shouldn’t have said.
