here is a photo of ONE of the fabrics i'm using in my current project, a bit of a mystery until the unveiling. that's my antique sewing table underneath. you can see the sun coming in through the blinds so it isn't cloudy for a change. i keep my laptop on the left corner because of wiring accessibility issues. i'd prefer a dedicated spot but there simply isn't any floor space for a laptop desk close to the wires. i could get a fold-down desk to mount on the wall, but again, no space. i am able to work ok in my little space, but more floor and wall space would be nice. ***** oprah, like most notables, has her critics, but when i saw those men from morehouse college who had received scholarships from oprah, and also others whose education has been enriched by her gifts, i was more than choked up. sometimes i might think she's a little too much "out there" with her generosity, but no one can deny that many people with little or no resources have benefitted. God calls us not to be Pharisees, puffing ourselves up and boasting about our good works, but in some ways I think oprah, because of her background, is more amazed because she CAN give rather than giving just for faint praise. sometimes when i am able to help someone else, i feel the urge to tell, but it's only because i am filled with joy, not pride, in being able to meet someone else's need. there is a real difference, but since i don't know her personally, i can't be sure. a very wise person long ago taught me the difference between self-respect and selfishness and it really changed my life for the better.
Just caught up reading your posts, I bet you are as glad as I am to finally have a few sunny days! Wondering if the "mystery" quilt has mainly '30s fabric?? I have enough '30s stuff in my stash to make something, heck I even have a specific pattern in mind, I just won't be starting anything new until at least next week.
