and am so looking forward to seeing even more pictures from the opening, while wishing there was a way to fly around the world to see the exhibit in person.

    Joy is just the most apt description for Mo’s exhibit of I Dream of A World Where Love is the Answer for joy abounds in the vision that brought us all together all over the world. Your pennant Liz with words of such deep meaning just sings…for me, this experience was a once in a lifetime journey of connection, caring and sharing.

    1. Deb – that might be because the shell was made at the beginning of Jude’s Considering Weave class … it was, quite literally, when I let go of careful, measured stitching and embraced the wild side of cloth

    Liz , it is a wonderful feeling to be with you and the many others in this exhibition. With my small talisman I feel part of a awesome group. I´m impressed by your pennant and your talisman. Remember well Jude´s weaving class. I didn´t follow your blog yet but I will in future. Doris

    Being part of Mo’s project really was a gift, wasn’t it? Your beautiful pennant and mended shell led the way.

    1. Dana – it was so amazing to look at the pictures from the opening and say to self, “look, there’s Dana and Dee and Jude all in a row … and oh my, I’m next to Bronwyn and Judy and Fiona” … as if each pennant stood in for its maker.

      I’m still surprised that my contributions arrived first, but less so when I think back to how incredibly motivated I was once the way forward became clear.

      So now we have blog posts and video and that amazing catalog … food for much future thought, a joy to return to again and again.

      You’re absolutely right … it was, and will always be, a gift …

    LA – I love the power of these global collaborations. It was touching and inspiring to see your’s and Marti’s work there. Made the community of love and peace seem more tangible and real. Go well. B

    Barry – thank you for taking so many pictures at the opening … they truly brought it to life for me (and many others, I’m sure). What most intrigued me was the one of Fiona reading the words of “I dream of a world where love is the answer” … that’s when I realized Mo’s brilliance in making the pennants so accessible, front and back!

Problem solved

When last I posted about the wonky herringbone pillow square, I was trying to figure out how to tame the bias edges.

Here's the solution I came up with ...

I pieced strips of cloth together, cut them perpendicularly into new strips, and sewed them onto the bias edges. There is still a bit of waviness, but overall I'm happy with the result ...

The quilting also helped, and I had fun alternating #12 variegated pink perle cotton with #8 off-white perle ...

What fun

I am having way too much fun making wonky log cabin squares from P's outgrown baby clothes. Since I've not really patchplayed with cottons before, each new square is a kick ... 

I also indulged myself in a look through the photo roll on my phone, hoping to find pictures of the original outfits, with much success ...

So fair warning, there's far more to come ...

    The last photo, you with P, love in action. I miss having a little one to cuddle so I will vicariously enjoy your times with Parker. While I enjoy seeing your wonky patches from P’s clothes, it is terrific to see her in the clothes; she has the most wonderful soulful eyes. She’s a little Texan through and through with her jeans and her raring to go stance in the first photo!

    5. Oh my lands!! This is just the best…she is just the sweetest! Love the teeny pony  At work when the littles wear jeans, I always remember, and sing that line from an old country song, “Baby makes her blue jeans talk” I daresay it was a different kind of ‘talkin’ meant! lol That is why I love the little joke to self

    6. Adorbs, as my elder son would say. I hope you supply pix along with the quilt. For provenance. It adds so much.
