We had a short vacation,
which allowed us to go to some local preserves. It was special to see not only
summer vegetation, egrets and a family of ducks, but also a pair of swans.
On another note, while
doing research for a book I am writing, I read a book called Quilts in
the Attic: Uncovering the Stories of the Quilts We Love by Karen S.
Musgrave ((c) 2012 Voyageur Press (c) 2012 Text Karen Musgrave; MBI Publishing
Co., Minneapolis, MN). There was a chapter on Ruby Short McKim, who designed
quilts for the Kansas City Star, among other things. Today, her
granddaughter, Merrily McKim Tuohey, maintains a website dedicated to her
grandmother's work: McKIM TUOHEY STUDIO, and one with Ruby's entire
1931 book: 101 Patchwork Patterns. I thought you might enjoy
having the links.
The other thing that I have been doing is sorting through craft supplies to pull out things I will probably not use. Now, I have to decide what to do with them.
To my surprise, too, I
discovered this is my 100th blog post. It seems like a milestone that should be
recognized. Perhaps it is enough to know that it is and see where that takes
me.
Until next time, I wish
you happy surprises, peace and all good.
