As of today I’ve maintained this blog exactly five years. It
was meant to be a twelve-month challenge, to see if I’d run out of designs or
interesting things to say (to myself, at least) before the year ran out. Today’s
block is number 1388. Many of the rest have become bedspreads, lap quilts, wall
hangings, table toppers or hot pads for friends or family members. Several
hundred were made into quilts and donated to wounded veterans, cancer victims,
survivors of terrorist attacks and natural disasters, hospital workers and
volunteers. Yesterday Heather and I mopped our muddy front entry, caught up
with the laundry and baked cookies to bring to some friends we haven’t seen in
far too long. Today we’ll clean out the fridge, take down the tree and bake a
couple of pies to share with some other friends. Not a bad way to end a year;
or to start a new one.
