Monday, July 4, 2011. I am going to go and take some pictures of some of my unfinished work. Perhaps publishing them here will give me a push to complete them. I have many quilt tops that have never made it into a finished product. I am ruminating upon the idea of chopping them up and using them as a base for some art quilts. Thursday, March 3, 2011.

Every now and then I see something in my scrap sheet that just cannot be ignored. Look to the left side, do you see something? Thursday, November 24, 2011.

Trieste, Sala Umberto Veruda. A mia madre, che alla fine del suo viaggio si smarrì. Con tutto il suo cuore, con tutta la sua anima. Ama pur non essendo corrisposta, e lo fa sempre con la stessa intensità perchè lei sa, che prima o poi, quando sarà pronta, il grande Amore arriverà. Con devozione, con dedizione, con disperazione. Cerca qualcuno da amare e rendere felice per sentirsi viva. Ogni volta una dolce sofferenza, un bisogno di dolcezza infinita.

He is feeling well, still eating pretty good, no pain, and walking better everyday. He gained 2 lbs last week; up to. Thank you, Applebees! Daddy got a cake and certificate! Uncle JW and I had lunch!
