Blocks

i see blocks.. squares and rectangles.

when we talk about filters that we look through, mine comes up blocks.

when i weave i mainly weave blocks

when i travel i am drawn to color, but also the rectangles and squares of life.

one of my favorite artists is sean sculley... he does blocks.

so it makes sense that i am drawn to nine patch and other quiilting patterns. i love log cabin when i weave rugs. 

just thinking about what we look at and what we are drawn to. i don't know where it comes from.. but i notice it more and more. 



September

i hate the end of summer. i wish i could get into it. 

it is never really nice here till july and august, so i don't suffer from three months of heat. the light is so wonderful in summer. i love having the long days and hearing the birds so early. 

so the end of all that is hard on me. this year vacation was late and i didn't get to really get away till the end of august. so now i'm home and it feels like fall. the weather is still good and the light is pretty good, but the maples are turning already and everyone talks about fall. 

i am trying to just focus on other things. 

stitching is a good one. another class with jude and i am going to try to finish the kimono and i have started a small quilt.

this is a piece that i did in another class and i am adding more around it. i put it on a larger piece of cloth and will just keep going.

this is the back of the kimono.. still going. 

so another class and more stitching. it will be difficult to do this since we are going to start a remodel. everything will have to be packed up to put in new floors and a new kitchen. i am totally freaked out about it. 

i think stitching may be the only thing that saves me.
