Quilts I've Made

Today is the end of the world, right? At least it will according to some religious person from South Africa (there are so many end-times prophecies that I get these confused, sorry if I'm wrong about the source.) Must be the tenth or eleventh time I've gone through the end of the world, and the world kept going. Fingers crossed it's just another bunch of crap being used to bludgeon people with someone else's beliefs.

Some reassurance for those who are troubled by this latest prediction: 100% of the end of the world predictions before this one were wrong. There was another religious person who predicted the end of the world twelve different times, and was wrong every single time. My advice? Don't worry about it and live your life. Why worry about something you can't do anything about or stop? Living your life, which definitely will end someday, is much more sensible.

Anyway, since I don't believe it's the end of the world, I'm putting together an album of all the quilts I've made since I began taking pictures of my work. I'm not including smaller projects, more like wall-hanging or larger. I'm also not including quilts made by others that I've finished or repaired. This is just my work, and in most cases, my original designs and patterns. You'll also see a few quilts like this one I made from my old t-shirts following instructions from a project book, or variations on quilt patterns like Atkinson Design's Yellow Brick Road, which I've made about twenty times.

Right now I have half of 2017 through 2025 in the album here but there will gradually be more as I go through my photo archives and upload the pics of quilts past. I've been doing this for over thirty years now. :)

Added: It's 9/24 and golly, the world didn't end. Again. Not a surprise.

Added: It's 9/25 and nope, the world didn't end yesterday, either. Just in case you were giving it another day like the rest of the bludgeoned. Stop listening to these people, please.

Another World

Since I'm watching more Japanese dramas these days I'm able to find more hidden gems, like the drama Silent . This is a subtle, emotional romance series, and authentically portrays what it's like to deal with a major disability while trying to get on with life and fall in love. Here's the story: in high school Sou Sakura (Meguro Ren) and Tsumugi Aoba (Haruna Kawaguchi) are a young couple. They have the same quirky sense of humor, love music, and really enjoy being with each other. The fact that they're the most attractive couple in school is obvious, but the innocent and fun nature of their relationship is what makes it so perfect. They just like talking with each other. Then, quite suddenly, Sou dumps Tsumugi (by text, no less, making him a giant ass) and vanishes. Years later Tsumugi is now in a relationship with another guy, with whom she's happy, and is looking for a place where they can live together. By accident she runs into Sou, and discovers ...

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay
