"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Another Quilt


I finished another quilt! I'm calling this one the Atenolol Quilt, because I'm attributing this new ability to finish projects to the Beta Blocker I'm on for migraine prevention. I truly never, ever thought I would make a quilt, let alone two. This one took a bit longer than the first, because I hand-quilted the borders. (You catch that? I hand-quilted the borders.)

My favorite part is the tall shadow of the photographer. That poor quilt is about to be attacked by a tall, looming stranger :)
