I've been feeling like doing a bit of stitching lately, saw a link on Mary Anne's blog about quilted potholders, and thought that might be good, my knitted ones starting to wear out.
Then I found there's a whole thing about making entire quilts a complete block, top, filling and backing, at a time. Quilt as you go. QAYG. The traditional way is to deal with a whole big filling layer and backing, then quilting, at once, a bit large for this maker.
like this. It also means the whole thing can be made of scraps, including the backing, so that includes me, since scraps are all I have.
So this might be the next thing that needs to be made, more likely potholders than an entire quilt.
And, while we're in campaigning and polling season, take a look. I deplore the kind of sampling bias dear to the heart of certain famous newspapers I only use for cutting out patterns. You know, the polling including mainly white folks with landlines and time. But the practice seems to be pretty old, as here
only Protestant churchgoers counted. Not families like mine.
However, there's always lunch, and here's a salmon salad, made with yogurt and capers, on spinach, on toast. Fresh dates.
I still make a bit of art here and there, like this one.
Happy day, everyone, pot holder or painting, it's all good.
