Two Dozen Floating Stars

 

I’ve been managing this blog for just over a decade. Nearly every day for ten years and change I’ve stitched a quilt block (or several), taken a photo, and posted it along with whatever was on my mind. I limit myself to roughly 150 words per day – the number the average person can read aloud in a minute. I’ve tried to keep my posts positive, uplifting, amusing or helpful, even when I’m not feeling any of those things. It’s like that old Hindu proverb: “Help thy brother’s boat across and lo! Thine own has reached the shore.” This whole thing started as sort of a dare. I wanted to improve my piecing and writing skills, so I challenged myself to work on both every day for a year. Today’s blog post is number 3000. It will probably only be seen by a handful of people, but I’d like to thank you for being one of them.
