jovita s patchwork atelier july 2008 home about me subscribe tutorials my other blogs got dots my jane morning stars friday july 25 2008 quilt show gent belgium today i visited a quilt show in gent presented by the vlaamse quilters guilde it was just what i needed for some contact with quiltsters feminine form of quilter here in belgium from the moment i walked into the show i felt welcomed and at home among women who also share my passion i began in nederlands she answered in english asked where i was from and took 2 50 just 4 for the entrance fee everywhere i went women were smiling nodding and enjoying themselves the show included the largest number of dear jane quilts i had seen in one location this is probably my favorite dear jane so far both simple patterns but very red these two quilts really caught my eye hmmmm maybe ideas for quick but eye catching quilts to use up some of my stash next i wandered outside to the circus style tent and found my absolute favorite that i liked this very yellow quilt was quilt a surprise not sure why i m still exploring that but i fell in love with it more and more and more of course the best quilts are also best viewed from the back the subtle daylight showing through from the front really softened the entire effect and of course really highlighted the exceptional hand quilting there were more 141 in all and i could go on and on but the highlight of my day was truly visiting with the ladies i enjoyed a cappuccino and piece of home made cake with loes and dora then i joined the open quilting bee in the courtyard the weather has turned warm but there was cloud cover and a gentle breeze this guild breaks for the summer holidays and resumes in september so many ladies were milling around and catching up with each other their projects and families they were all very welcoming and i exchanged small chat in a mix of english and nederlands but oi vey i also heard a lot of french i may need to learn it sooner than i thought pin it now posted by peawink at 9 00 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels belgium dear jane quilt show rainbow red yellow wednesday july 23 2008 my dad my inspiration today is my dad s birthday he would have been 80 years old dad grew up in a tiny tiny town in the back woods of mississippi he was the oldest in his poor family and to help the family income planted peach trees around the property when he was 12 he tended these trees picked and sold the fruit to the neighbors i also remember stories of stealing watermelons from the neighbor and hunting squirrels as a young man he helped on his uncle jr s peanut farm he was the first to graduate high school after which he enlisted in the army air core which later became the us air force he served 20 years living in five countries while raising six children a year before i was born dad retired from the service and settled in everett wa he had flown through seattle a few times during his service years and had always thought it looked like a nice place to live he hired on at boeing but that quickly ended with the big layoff he then hired on at everett community college beginning as a janitor he ended up founding their audio visual department repairing planning fixing and locating all av equipment on campus i have fond memories of going to work with him working at the counter to check out materials to students and falling off the high stool with a huge crash driving through the library after hours on the electric cart which would only go if your butt was firmly planted on the seat but then my legs were too short so dad would stack a pile of books up behind me and of course his desk a huge pile of tangled wires parts and tools but he could always find what he needed hmmm a chip off the old block dad took care of three gardens when i was growing up the largest was at my oldest sister s where the corn beans and who knows what else was in our front garden grew peas strawberries and the biggest crop of chard one year that none of us will ever forget i always thought it was spinach but later found out it was chard that s why it kept growing back one row of this stuff meant it was on the dinner table nearly every night that summer yuck i still can t eat it just cooked a mess of slimey greens and i ve learned to cope and cook with it in other ways but i don t grow it i still have his work gardening hat if dad was here today i would take him for a walk in my garden i think he would be proud of my tomatoes give advice on my beans they re still straggly shake his finger at me for not eating my peas fast enough before they got too old and bemused by my need to grow so many flowers no matter how she asked he would never plant them for mom dad was a quiet man unless he had a good story to tell he was extremely resourceful and could fix anything you threw at him he didn t get involved in the raising of us very much that was mom s job but he loved to be around his grandchildren he could tell you all 20 of their birthdays and probably even the weather the day they were born and he had a knack for settling them when no one else could he was also a thinker and had an incredible mathematical mind in 1997 dad quit smoking so he could fly to england for my wedding i told him if i knew that s what it would take i would have gotten married years before a few months after our wedding i flew back to the states and met dad in mississippi for a week s visit it was a great opportunity for him to show me around all the old haunts and share family stories i ll always treasure this time spent with him two years later he was diagnosed with cancer and he went quickly he was a remarkable man who touched many lives but none so much as his youngest daughter s pin it now posted by peawink at 9 00 pm 0 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels dad garden newer posts older posts home subscribe to
