Thanks for visiting my as-of-yet-untitled blog. I’m hoping to use it mostly to chronicle my quilting escapades and other craft-like projects. There are two quilt projects currently in the works: 1) A scrap quilt that joint effort between my cousin, Lila, and myself; 2) A traditional log cabin quilt with a modern twist…sashing. The first quilt mentioned is five years in the making, with every piece sewn by hand. On one hand it’s been a painstakingly slow process. On other hand the quilt represents a lot – it’s gone through some big life changes with the two of us over the last five years. We are nearing the end now with 114 of 144 5″ squares completed and every block completed feels like a small victory. Once I get some sample pictures of blocks, I’ll go ahead and post them up.
I’ve also got my eye on a quilt pattern featured in a British quilt magazine. The pattern is “Japanese Pearl” and the variation shown in the magazine was a delicious combination of golds, plums, and browns. But that’s neither here nor there. Lila, if you’re reading this – I might want this as the next project 
remind me when we get together next weekend to show you the mag.
Thanks for reading,
k.

Dear Ms. Franco:
As a representatice of SEPNCGHC (Society for the Enhancement of Pine Nut and Cornish Game Hen Consumption)I read with appall your disdain for both pine nuts and cornish game hens. Perhaps you should see a psychologist. Has either of these innocent, widely loved and admired foods ever harmed you? Actually, a dish that has been savoured by rich and poor alike is roasted cornish game hen stuffed with pine nut dressing. I would also like to bring to your attention the many quilts worldwide that honor these two esteemed foods. There are quilts in the Louvre, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the National Museum in Washington, DC commemorating these two bastions of civilization. Since antiquity these two venerable foods have been revered as well as relished. In closing, I do hope that you will reconsider and remove them from your “Dislike List’ Perhaps substituting squash, a meeley tasteless pablum, truly worthy of your disdain would serve this purpose well.
Sincerely,
SEPNCGHC
