This morning I was updating a list of quilts I’ve made and reading it, I saw a kind of lyrical obsessiveness. So I thought I’d see if it works as a blog post. I didn’t take photographs of finished quilts until maybe 5 or 6 years ago. There are days (this is one of them) when I want to be reminded I’ve done things. Not dusting or dishes or enough laundry but things that will last.
