Stuff

When Murray went to Mass, I stole a few minutes to sew.

99 Dublin blocks. 

Then we walked to Taste of the Town.

Today was a perfect day to sit outside, eating, listening to music and people watching. 

It was fun, even if Murray got a sunburn.

We had to be back by 430 for some football game.

I took that opportunity to sew a bit more.

The color is off, but you get the idea.

Yesterday, my neighbor brought over a quilt from Indonesia. 

Fans..

His parents were missionaries & brought this back to him upon thier retirement in 1990.

He spent his childhood over there...so cool.

It's batik...but I'd never seen batiks like these before. 

Browns, blues & blacks...

Not stamped, but HANDPAINTED!

All hand pieced & hand quilted, as well.

The design of the batiks reminded me of the Australian fabrics in stores today.

And the quilting design resembled what I would consider Celtic quilting.

What a treat to see such an awesome piece. 

I've had a great year of quilt viewing....that's for sure!

Tonight is part 1 of RHONJ Reunion...

Murray & I have a date with a bowl of popcorn & those crazy broads!

Guilty pleasures...

Remember to be kind.
