And envelope us in their soft Quietness.
Thanks for comfort and warmth.

Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another...
Quaint Quality; All Quilts are.... Quite the perfect letter; Quilt, Quilting, Quilt-fabrics, Quilting-Bees.... I love everything Quilt, but I guess you already know that....
ReplyDeleteMy next favorite word with a Q is Quiet. Love that just as much. Quilting in Quietness is my perfect part of the day.
And you make such lovely quilts, too!
DeleteI love the quilt. Did you make it?
ReplyDeleteYes, it was a gift for my son and his bride when they were married almost 3 years ago. Time flies!
DeleteI have discovered that a quilt is a gift that comes with tremendous love. When I was pregnant with the oldest, I took a quilting class and made a baby quilt by hand. I can't imagine anything but love pushing a woman forward in the daunting task of making a bed-sized quilt.
ReplyDeleteYou hand-sewed the baby quilt? That is impressive! I "cheat" and use a sewing machine. :-)
DeleteNo such thing as cheating when using the sewingmachine. It's just as difficult, if not more difficult. You made a wonderful quilt and I hope your son and daughter-in-law love it still as much. I know I do!
DeleteWow! You made that? I find quilting amazing. I just cant wrap my head around it! Its so impressive to me!
ReplyDeleteYes, I did. I'm definitely still learning, though.
DeleteThat is really a pretty quilt! I don't quilt but I do admire then from afar.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a frequent quilter, but I do enjoy trying every so (or "sew") often! :-)
Deleteyow! (to me) the combination of patience and concentration that must be necessary to create something like that! ayiiee!
ReplyDeleteI've learned to stop for the day once I get tired, because otherwise I spend more time seam-ripping than sewing!
DeleteMy mom has some beautiful, intricate quilts and quilt tops that were never quilted that were done by my grandmother and my great aunt. My favorite is called, I think Grandmother's Flower Garden. Most of the fabric used was from feed sacks. Quilts are such a treasure!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! I think quilts are even better when they are made by loved ones.
