And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

My sister gifted me this scrap quilt she recently finished making while I was visiting yesterday. Incredibly gorgeous, and I'm ready for the cold weather now!
Yes! Having talented friends and family willing to work long hours to make a one of a kind gift is incredibly special and unfortunately a fading action.
Your sister is an artist, sir. There is a point where ‘craft’ spills over into art, as in this. very beautiful painting which is also a bedspread. Gorgeous! Lucky you. Robbi of Ottawa

I'm having a hard time deciding what I like better... your new quilt or the pair of Wranglers as seen in your newest post. Both are lovely.
ReplyDeleteMy wife still makes those quilts. We have them all over the house. A hobby for her, she loves to sew. They are amazing.
ReplyDeleteMine too.
