Like the Others
I remember the workbooks that were in pre-school and perhaps even in kindergarten. There were sheets of images and the child had to circle the ones that were not like the others. That’s where I am at today with Luella’s blanket.
Luella’s mom cut up some infant clothes for this blanket. Clothes with labels for 6 months or even 12 months . . . there is not much fabric that is not caught up in seams. I think my target is a piece of cloth that is 8 inches. Those would be the items of clothing that has the cute saying on it and those items with colorful designs. I have decided those items that are smaller than 8 inches will need to be made “like the others.”
Realizing that I tend to overthink my threads and fuzz . . . I needed a break this afternoon. Laying some items out on my church tables and giving them a glance once in awhile, may help my process. Seriously, what does a four year old know about harmonious quilt techniques! Seeing as how the mother wouldn’t know how to thread a needle . . . I will go with my instincts.
I found a ditty in a junk piece of mail that I thought was worth finding its way into my letter box. The word fail – F.A.I.L. – “First Attempt in Learning.” The word end – E.N.D. – “Effort Never Dies.” The word no – N.O. – “Next Opportunity.”
Clouds may be the ticket for today, but my studio allows me to feel sunny.
That is about all the wisdom I have to impart today.
