it's true, summer weather has gone and with it my shorts wardrobe...was inevitable of course and i am ready for it. **** the kaffe lozenges is a flimsy....
i moved around some of the prints to achieve balance, but it seems as tho the bottom half has fewer dark prints so might still require some tweaking...as far as other sewing, quilting the perimeter of the gift quilt so a christmas finish is definite. it's huge, 96" square, way bigger than i care to make really, but for a gift i soldiered on. **** a friend loaned me this to read and perhaps discuss with others in a small book group....
thoroughly interesting read...it is believed hawthorne based his hester prynne on anne hutchinson who, the ministers of the colony agreed, "she was a woman not only difficult in her opinions, but also of an intemperate spirit". easy to recognize the traits of 21st century women in this trail-blazing rogue of her time--in short; outspoken, with common sense, confident in her opinions and belief that she was the equal of any man. you can understand why she was feared in Puritan America. cool weather is ideal to curl up under a cozy quilt and be whisked away.....
