Hello, Fellow Lintheads! Where on the range are you today? We're heading west this morning, to visit our sister in Clear Lake, Iowa. That's where the Surf Ballroom is located, the last venue of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, and Ritchie Valens. Google it, or rent The Buddy Holly Story or La Bamba.
While working to get today's post up, I noticed some weird cyber-stuff happening, making my word processing program as slow as molasses in January. I rebooted, which didn't do the trick, so now I'm running another virus scan. The whole process means I won't get today's installment posted before we leave.
I don't want to mention any names, but someone, not from my generation who is inhabiting our domicile, is uber-surfing as she job-hunts and researches potential employment opportunities. I find her work fascinating, if not exhaustive. She is one focused babe, and when she gets on a roll, she gets on a roll, baby. "Tenacious" covers it fairly well. She discusses the process as she is making her strides, and it's fun to be a part of it. We happily trade off a little slowness on the computer to have her with us. Besides, it sharpens my self-taught computer skills as I try to figure out the remedy.
So, if any of you want to add some comments about your latest projects and curiosities, this is your chance to pop in and do some writing. Part of what I want to encourage is your own writing about your quilting adventures. In fact, today's post deals with that very subject. My new post is named, "Blissful Oblivion", so look for it,probably on Sunday.
I do want to add one quilting story from this week. Pat, my very close and dear friend, was here working on the quilt for the Hauge Church on Tuesday. As we were nearing the completion of assembling the embroidered blocks, I said, "Ooooo, this is getting exciting!!" I thought Pat would fall off her chair laughing. Make that, Pat fell off her chair laughing. This is exciting?? Let's have a round of Geritol to celebrate!
On Thursday, Pat was back over here for the evening class I taught on hand piecing quilt blocks. No lie, as she was approaching completion of one quarter of her pieced block, she said, (with great passion, I might add), "Oh, I'm about done! This is so exciting!!"
Ding, ding! I won that round. Or did I? Maybe I'm just dragging poor Pat down with me.
See you later!
Love,
Kari
