When we sorted all our possessions into surface freight, air freight and “what comes with us,” we believed our air freight would rejoin us within a week. To negotiate airport security and customs, we flew with a wheelchair, two backpacks, a medical bag and three carry-on bags. Two weeks later, that’s still all we have. We’re beginning to tire of wearing and washing the same few things. Our shirts and trousers are beginning to look tired, too. I sent a few necessary quilting supplies via air freight, and I’m still waiting for them. So today for the first time I’m posting a block I DID NOT MAKE. My mother generously pieced this block for me. It’s part of a series of Japanese-inspired quilt blocks that Quilts Etc. in Sandy is offering this year. Mother also loaned me a sewing machine, so in a day or two I can post my own work again. Whether or not our things arrive.
