Plain, solid colors chosen by a plain, solid man who was good great at his job for years. In political appointments when the lead dog changes, some of the team are replaced as was Hubby. Through the years, Hubby performed many heroic acts although he would not say that, finding lost children, rescuing people, recovering people and helping the entire county run smoothly during disasters and during the good times.
So today, I am finishing a quilt I began some time ago. It will be for Hubby and his magic sleeping chair...you know, the chair that reclines and automatically puts the reclinee to sleep.
I sew happily on my old electric machine, have more trouble threading the needle than I used to but I can still get the job done.
Noticing the pile of jeans waiting for me to repurpose, knowing I will make yard quilts and totes and maybe a pillow or two, but that will be for another day.
Winter weather brings out the Suzie Home Maker in me and so I sew. This day may your stitches be strong, your tension just right and may you always be able to see the eye of the needle.
