more stitches, more art
I wasn’t alone on my walk today
there were 3 deer but by the time I had my camera ready all I got was the last one
a new hexie for this week
I started with 5
3 for the weeks I’ve been self isolating and 2 for the previous weeks
from the outside looking in
from the inside with the late afternoon sun shining through
more progress on the book
the first 4 pages opened out
the title page “Stripes and Squares”
it is a take on A.A. Milne’s poem “Lines and Squares”
“Bears, just watch me walking in all the squares!”
the tiny bear, just 1 1/2 inches is shown beside a Canadian two dollar coin (a toonie)
he fits in the pocket from an old pair of jeans – I think I bought those jeans for the pocket!
we have a generous number of book boxes in the neighborhood
you can leave a book or two and/or take one
this one is a work of art – a piano, a drummer and a dog playing a tune – in Redfern Park
more art – a garage door in a back alley
no sharks seen
trying again–usually i can’t leave a message in your comments anymore–i love that garage door!

Kate – let’s just hope it doesn’t out grow the window and fade in the afternoon sun.

Perhaps you could pin them to a tape so they could branch out into the room rather than the outside, like some sort of tropical creeper?

Kate – they are my form of hearts and rainbows in the window which many in the community are doing. I will place them in the shape of a rainbow. Time will tell. They have to be seen from the sidewalk – although my cedar hedge is almost too high.

I made quilts for the beds my grandchildren slept in when they came her. Random rectangles of fabric which included stuff from their outgrown clothes. I also included pieces of jeans with pockets for ‘treasures’ and button bands to fiddle with. They loved them. They are teenagers now and ‘too grown up for those’ but no doubt they will like them when they are really grown up[!

Sue – they sound wonderful, they are full of wonderful memories. Give the grands a few years and they will be asking for them.

Sue – it is a mystery the small, inconsequential things we remember from childhood.

Cathy – it is good to keep busy and they give my busy brain something to think about other than when I can go to the grocery store.
