At least one of us is adventurous

In exchange

This is what I sent Mimi in exchange for these shoes. Think she'll like it?

N.B. Square design nabbed from a bag belonging to LL, origin: Paris.

P.S. I haven't started it yet.

Vicarious news: LL and Enoch and Tom and Heather and Heather's cousin are heading off to NYC in a day and a bit – I wish I were going too!!

Honest Ed died the other day; there's something about that man that I love:

As for Ed's final retirement, he jokingly suggested that he wanted to be cremated, have his ashes sealed in a large hourglass that would not only be put on display at Honest Ed's but also turned every hour so that his employees and his customers could say: "There's good old Ed ... still running."—The Globe & Mail

Some inspiration

Via Lucy in the Netherlands and her trip to the US. I love the scatteredness of the colours, and especially the red coming out of the centre of the giant star.

Blitzquilt+

Shown here while being pinned. It's quilted now too, and might get bound up this weekend. Blitzquilt will be the first quilt I have ever finished. !! And it's so much smaller than the others I'm making; quilting the larger ones will be difficult.

(P.S. Got my camera back.)
