Tomorrow evening I'm off to New York. I will stay with LL in her beautiful new apartment, I will wander around the most amazing city in the world, and... I'll also talk to some folks about the possibility of work. I'll let you know what happens.

NEW YORK CITY!

In the meanwhile...



And for the future... a judicious use of rejected bits:



(I really can't expect to finish THREE quilts in the next few weeks. OR CAN I?)

What?

Everything feels crazy right now (or maybe it's just me that feels crazy). But this is funny.

Oh blitzquilt++

After about 1000000000 variations on the same thing (I kept thinking I was finished, but something was unsettling me and making me completely crazy), I finally discovered what was missing.

Now to sew it and quilt it (unless I change my mind again augh). Finish by Friday? I've got at least one other quilt I want to finish before November...

blitzquilt secret

One of the reasons I really like making quilts for babies is that I had a quilt made for me when I was a baby. I carried it around with me obsessively for years and years, wouldn't go to sleep without it, etc etc. It was yellow and white with line drawings of animals and flannel on the back (the best part). Here I am maybe four years old, with my Grandma and my Blankie, in Thunder Bay where my dad is from.

I still have my Blankie; my dad made me take it to my own house to get it out of his. He gave it to me in a ziploc bag.



If I am lucky, maybe some of my quilts will be loved this much.++++

P.S. Update on the current blitzquilt coming later this week.

Getting there++++
