Bow ties

When I quit trying to cut strips for three different quilts and gave the bow ties my full attention it started coming together and I wished I hadn’t cut all of some fabrics into strips and segments because I could have used a couple of those fabrics in the border. Then I had to make do just like grandma would have done.  

The wind is blowing here today, strong and cold out of the northwest. Some little house finches are struggling to keep ahold of the branches of the spruce tree, they always sit at the very top. Seems to me it might be easier to hang with onto a branch a couple feet further down where the branches are thicker and a little less wind. And then they are gone. And for me to go to my sewing room it’s a great day to quilt —Ann—
