Know what to expect

For the record, about 200 plus people visited my humble blog over the past two days, above and beyond normal traffic numbers. Of these 200 people, two left comments (thanks Becky and Barbara!). That is all. (apologies to the delightful Suzette.

One hundred little pieced squares on the wall,
one hundred little pieced squares…

Well, I thought I was half done with the squares, but turns out I’m half done minus 20. So only 42% done instead of 50%. Hmmmm. A little less when you figure I generally make a few extra squares. I can hear Naomi laughing already, but seriously folks – there’s no way I’m gonna just keep making these little guys until I just decide to stop! But then again, it would be really interesting to see a really BIG wall full of these. But no. I know they might seem like stupid little pieced squares, but they seem to be doing a little more than their share when you look at them.

Welcome thill-seekers from QuiltArt. Scroll down if you seek photos of work in process or look around for other links. And do the right thing and leave a comment, for pete’s sake (or mine)! What’s the point of having comments if no one leaves them?

In other news, lots of people asking me about the webcam lately — why are there never any cats? Do I really have cats? If you have doubts, click the new “No Cats?” link at left for the answer to this and other helpful things.

It’s always fun to get prezzies and well, sometimes it’s especially fun. Sometimes there’s a lot of fun in just opening the present, but the most fun is of course the prezzie itself! Thanks Steve! And now to shuffle through some other photos…

Progress continues on this, slow but sure. Slow at first was ok, but I finally ramped things up a bit. Click above to see the squares made so far. Here’s a mock up of all the planned squares.

Long week at work with a lot of mental and physical work to be done. OK folks, sometimes you have to stop talking about what you are doing wrong (aka “But it doesn’t work!”) if you want to learn something new. If you keep doing it over and over again and talking about it, you just keep reinforcing the incorrect thing and not giving the new thing a chance to get in. (aka “Stop talking already. Stop talking now.”)

Finally, a photo of Bill snoozing on the primo register, taken a bit before the end.
