God

Tripping in some room in Amsterdam / Rotterdam? this song really spoke to me.
God is a concept by which measures our painI’ll say it againGod is a concept by which measures our pain
I don’t believe in magicI don’t believe in I-chingI don’t believe in BibleI don’t believe in TarotI don’t believe in HitlerI don’t believe in JesusI don’t believe in JesusI don’t believe in KennedyI don’t believe in BuddhaI don’t believe in MantraI don’t believe in GitaI don’t believe in YogaI don’t believe in KingsI don’t believe in ElvisI don’t believe in ZimmermanI don’t believe in the Beatles
I just believe in me, Yoko, and me, and that’s reality
The dream is overWhat can I say?The Dream is overYesterdayI was the DreamweaverBut now I’m rebornI was the walrusBut now I’m JohnAnd so, dear friendsYou’ll just have to carry onThe dream is over

Fancy Fox Quilt

The biggest quilt I’ve ever made.

The Fancy Fox Quilt is finally done and gifted to Kayla!

At some point, this post will probably become a gallery. This took over a year to make and also forced me to upgrade my Brother to a Juki QVP Mini.

Also a reminder to fill up the craft category.

Fresh pasta

Finally got off our lazy asses and made fresh pasta with the maker that Jelina gave us years back.

280g top flour
2 eggs
4 egg yolks
salt

Stranger danger

I, a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.

from The Laws of God, The Laws of Man, AE Housman, via Alan Watts

Wish you were here

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

Seamless quilt backing

I had resolved not to buy any more fabric, but I didn’t have any that were wide enough for the backing of the Fancy Fox Quilt.

So I decided to join two pieces of 44 inch quilting cotton as seamlessly as possible. I used low tack 3M removable tape to “baste” the fabrics together, carefully matching the print where they would be sewn (fourth image). Then I sewed through the tape (fifth image).

It was not an exaggeration to say that it took the whole day just to join up the backing fabric. And the whole of the next day just to baste it!

Maybe it’s magic, maybe she’s a lunatic.
