"Until further notice,
Celebrate everything!"
Both simple and profound, this quote has stuck with me since reading it. Amongst the difficulties and uncertainties of life (of which we are dealing with many) there is always something to not only be grateful for, but to celebrate and rejoice over.
Looking through my fabrics has been like a treasure hunt, mixing and matching, hand stitching some more blossom blocks. You can read all about Jodi's new quilt subscription/club based on this design here. Details of construction are also on her Tales of Cloth site here.
Bird visitors and spots of hot summer colour always catch my eye in the garden.
A particular 'hat' from the 1950's (??) has been recently spoken of on several occasions by my mother-in-law as important to complete her outfit for my son's upcoming wedding. When you are 83 these things matter, so Last week we made the required trip to collect it - via the scenic route. 😊
The hatbox was eventually located, containing pieces fit for a textile museum. I think she now feels ready to attend the wedding ☺️
So until further notice, I plan to celebrate EVERYTHING!
When you live in Paradise your quilts must radiate that to. They does.
ReplyDeleteMuito lindo tudo e celebrar cada dia é preciso! bjs, chica

I have been out of the loop! When does your son get married?

I wore vintage gloves for my daughter's wedding.
Such a meaningful quote for times such as the present. I love the story of the hat :) Your EPP just shines!!

ReplyDeletewhat a brilliant quote Karen. I always think of your photos of a celebration of life. Learning to give thanks doesn't come naturally and I am determined to work at it more. How fun going to look for a vintage hat :-)
