"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)

Colonel Puckering Quilt

I finished another quilt today, this one a collaborative effort. Kate wanted a quilt for her bedroom, and picked delicious and daring fabrics which I never would have thought to put together. Today we found a teddy-bear soft throw to use for the back, and I finished it up. What a gorgeous result!
(Thanks to Kate for the photo, too, and for the wonderful name.)

I am so impressed! Seems like you are on the Quilt Train - can't believe how fast you turn them out. It's true, this one is especially beautiful.
