Shame on me! I almost forgot to show you my one and only 4th of July quilt! I made this in 1999, after seeing a quilt like it in a magazine, it was a no-brainer so I don't have a pattern to offer - but I think you can see that sewing strips and rectangles together is pretty much the deal. I have a lot of red and white quilts - which are always out around the manse, but this is my only "patriotic quilt"...hardly big enough to curl up in but perfect for a picnic or to line the inside of my Radio Flyer for the neighborhood parade...except there was no neighborhood parade this year!

Blah, Blah, Blah...
- Fabric and Quilts...Being a quilter for over 30 years, I've learned one thing that's for sure (as my good friend Ops - short for Oprah - would say) and that's this: You can't go wrong if you buy too much! You will never be forced to have a "close enough" fabric in a quilt again! I've always said that I make 30-foot quilts - or put another way, quilts that look good from 30 feet away! One day I hope to make "inchers." In the meantime, as I struggle to make points match, I'm happily trying to cover every bed, sofa, and chair in my house with a quilt - that's normal, right?
- Ahhhh....food....We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. He may live without books, what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope, What is hope but deceiving? He may live without love, What is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining? Owen Meredith...or as I like to call him.... The Earl of Sandwich
