What's your dream quilting place?
What's the old saying? If Mohammed won't go to the mountain, then the mountain will have to go to Mohammed! I have a little table top fountain that gives me a lot of pleasure while I am sewing. I can look out to the east and see the sun rise over the house across the street. In the winter I can see the birds and squirrels fight over the food in the bird feeders. My sewing room (and I say that humorously) is a whole 6x11, and our city lot is 40 ft wide and I have my view over the smallest part of the yard - maybe 15 feet wide. But with a little imagination I have my sewing room in the mountains with a little trout stream going by and birds singing. Ain't life grand?
Poem for the day!
I meant to do my work today --
but a brown bird sang in the apple tree,
and a butterfly flitted across the field,
and all the leaves were calling me.
And the wind went sighing over the land,
tossing the grasses to and fro,
and a rainbow held out its shining hand --
so what could I do but laugh and go.
--Richard Le Gallienne--
Have a good day. Edie
