1969 – The first episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus was broadcast on BBC1.
Thanks to the “on this day” section of Wikipedia. And somehow seems so appropriate, eh? No? What? You ask, WHY am I talking about Monty Python? I wasn’t expecting a kind of Spanish Inquisition! And now returning to our normal programming.
Yes the cat, I mean the secret, is out of the bag: I got a very exciting email or two from the folks at Quilt National saying my quilt was accepted. I think I’m still seriously in the Oh.My.GAWD phase!
This quilt, “Brush” is one that was not made in my normal process, instead starting life as a bunch of blocks I made at a getaway weekend because I was between projects and didn’t have an idea in my head of what to do for three days. So it was started in late May and finished for the QN deadline in September. Record time!
More details to come, but looks like a road trip to Ohio come May.
As John and Paul wrote:
Listen, do you want to know a secret
Do you promise not to tell, woh, woh, woh
Closer, let me whisper in your ear
Say the words you long to hear
More to come. More to come.
Give in to math. Accept what many know: Databases rule the world.
