Up at dawn and thinking out loud,<\/h3>\n

I feel like making a quilt\u2014an old fashioned traditional quilt, well, sort of… \u00a0It makes me think of a quote by American film director, John Ford\u2014\u201cWhen in doubt, make a western.\u201d \u00a0I love that quote, and think of it often. \u00a0Simple. \u00a0Take hold of what you know. \u00a0Come around the circle to look at it again.<\/p>\n

A traditional \u201cprairie\u201d quilt, draped over a chair in some TV thing I was watching, caught me, literally caught me. \u00a0I could make that! \u00a0I want to make that! \u00a0But I would do it differently, and then my imagination took off. \u00a0Not a quilt for exhibition, but one for me, maybe even for a bed, working slowly, pleasantly uncomplicated and simple, with humble materials.<\/p>\n

Brings to mind the bits from a WIP\/UFO that I began over a decade ago, still tucked in a bin….somewhere…<\/p>\n

I found it!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wrangling scraps and textures and colors that argue with one another. \u00a0Making them sit in the same room and work together.<\/p>\n

How delicious it is.<\/p>\n
