And, um, now? I've started collecting quilts.
Well, maybe collecting is too strong a word to use just yet. I mean, I only have one quilt and one quilt pillow.
And, I guess, I have my eye on a couple more on eBay. Well--ahem--a couple dozen.
I see my future. It has a lot of cast-iron doorstops in the shapes of cats, a whole bunch of potpourri satchels, and quite possibly a tatting hobby.
collecting quilts sure is easier than making them! i love the cushion. so sweet!
ReplyDeletei subscribe to Better Homes & Gardens (and i LOVE it!)... so i'm right with ya sister.
ReplyDeletei am a sucker for patchwork so i am loving both the quilt and that pillow!
If we lived in the same city and were friends (which we would be because of our extreme nearshightedness, of course), we would probably never see eachother, due to our canceling of all social excursions, just to stay home. So I guess we wouldn't be friends. It would be exactly how it is right this very second. Oh man, I'm making a mess of my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteGem: That is very, very true, although I'd love to make 'em as well!
ReplyDeleteAnna: Ha! I'm well on my way to a BH&G subscription, believe you me.
Melina: Aw, I'd put off Masterpiece Theatre to hang out with you for sure! (That, by the way, says a lot. Heh.)
Replace your quilt fetish with my knitting and we be twins! And may I suggest BBC radio whilst you're working on your latest project?
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I an envious that you can tat or know enough of it to pick it up as a hooby. That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteNot that you've seen it in action (your pillow), you won't overlook an unfinished quilt top - an economical way to whips up a seat cushion or a tiny table cover or a small peek-a-boo pillow, if you're handy with a needle + thread.
ReplyDelete(BTW, how have I missed this blog? Infusions + sorbet + Peru? And I did read your latest post, and tho I don't know the situation, here's hoping the so hoping the influx of people who care will make easier to bear.
Domestica, that quilt top idea is so simple and SO GENIUS! I'm always seeing pretty ones, but never figured out what I could do with them.
ReplyDeleteThanks for further enabling my old biddiness. ;]
masterpiece mystery is pretty much my most favorite tv show on earth! I too will cancel social engagements to watch poirot, mrs. marple etc....
