muscle memory is such a good thing. finally reacquainted with my sewing machine – the one i haven’t used in decades, the one with a bobbin in need of a refill.
but i could not remember how to wind the bobbin. until finally i told my brain to shush and turned the job over to my hands. loving my brand new plexiglass extension sewing table. makes quilting a body the size of mine so much easier.
back at work on autoquiltography 1, focusing on the head today.
my head looks like e.t.’s. (these things happen when self-tracing on the floor with non-dominant hand.) noting the similarity in shape, those who know me would say “it figures” while biological siblings say “we’re still waiting.” (they are sure there will be an eventual revelation from mom about my obvious adoption.)
went for a walk today with mr. thrillenity and phoebe.
mr. thrillenity saw a lichen-coated limb cradled and perfectly balanced by a short, thin tree-on-its-way-up:
phoebe saw water begging her to wade on in:
i saw rocks that looked like hearts, until i got close enough to see otherwise:
we all saw:
found a place perfect for sitting, reading, and stitching on warmer days:

well you head looks just grand, big enough for all these thoughts and more. love that plexiglass thing, but being my son is so handy, i will ask him to make me one. i’d like to call him mr. fixit but that is way too uncreative, love your list of characters.
jude, you are too funny. yes, get your mr. fixit to build you one of these things, it makes stitching large pieces so much easier. don’t know that it’ll help you much on the commuter train, though.
Lovely photos. And I think this autoquiltography will be fabulous!
fran, welcome back! hope you are rested and rejuvenated after your vacation. have missed your posts.
