Daily Notes- Monday February, 27th. Bright Sun. Snow. A "no weather day"


 Three of my own pictures here this week....  such a sweet thrill.

Grocery Shopping.  I found most of what I wanted to buy.  Most is good enough.  I have a shiny skin tangerine here on the desk....fresh.  I am looking forward to eating it.

I really like that cloth I am making in the upper right corner.  It's made up of several different fabrics. Appliquéd down.  I stopped working on it when I had to decide what it was going to be when it grew up. That happens. Like the tiny gray and white nine patch...what will it be when it grows up?  Or will it remain a nine patch forever.  I promised it- not a potholder.

That upper right cloth could be framed under glass.... Art.  With a multi piece mat border.  The Picture Framer always enjoys my creative mat choices.......I haven't seen him since he moved to the town next door.  And also because I stopped driving. I have to decide soon....to drive or not to drive.

I have no need for any quilts (I know lots of you call them blankets).  I have dozens of hand pieced/ hand quilted quilts from the 1930's in the Attic if I need a quilt. I have tried giving them as gifts....every one says 'no".  I think the small shop in town has old quilts for sale......to be made into jackets and pillows......  I could barter.  A friend bought 10 metal, old fashioned watering cans there...... a "collection".   I have one and it's enough.  Damn heavy filled with water.  

The Karen Slaughter section of the library shelf is BARE.  I had three at home. The ones I returned last week are gone......I actually wanted to take them out again.  I was supposed to have a book to pick up......it wasn't on the hold shelf.
