Gretta, Lindsey and I collaborated on another quilt…this one for little Freya, who was born in July. Once again, we relied on the USPS to get our bits back and forth to one another. Thank goodness for the postal service. I send them good thoughts every single day.
We used scraps from the quilt we made for Hannah and Loren’s wedding (above). We found a colorful llama novelty print that pulled all the colors together, and chose a solid pink for the columns. Machine quilted in Detroit by a friend of LIndsey’s, this crib sized quilt is just right for stroller cruises, playtime and just plain snuggling. Sweet Nutmeg enjoys the quilts while keeping an eye on Freya at the same time.
I heard the other day that my 6”x6” September Meadow has sold over in Middlebury. :-)
And when we woke up this morning, we had lots of good election news here in Vermont, and the “red tide” that was threatening our nation seems to have lost some of its strength. My favorite story of the day was that of Maxwell Frost, the first member of Gen Z to be elected to Congress. Thank goodness the youth are finally on the horizon, spurred on with new and urgent energy to demand change and to be the disrupters we so desperately need.
The eclipse the other day was gobbled up by heavy clouds here in Vermont, with just a peek or two at the spectacular Blood Moon, but is was still oddly quiet and eery. Did you see it where you are?
My list of things to finish this afternoon is long, and the sun is already perched, ready to drop behind the mountains soon, so I will sign off. I’ll be taking a wee break from the blog for a bit…let me know what you might like to read more of when I come back to this space.
Stay well and strong, dearest ones, and hang on to hope and all the light you can find. xo
