One Flower Wednesday Nov 30 2011

One solitary hexagon.... or now in the corner I see another !!

I've been out of sorts...

redocorating my sewing room... and my hexies and folded flowers are on the floor....

So, Alas... it really is just ONE FLOWER THAT I REPORT ON one=flower wednesday!!!

Happy link following a quilter friend.... @    

This last day of November proved really a headache stressor!

The dreams were real and horrible last night... I was shaking scared.....of an evil child...   I know better... I could have slapped some sense into that kid to stop him....   Oh well... too many tv shows.   I'm battling  a flu/cough bug with OTC drugs plus running short on my diabetes medication.    Life is real... waiting for payday.
Nevertheless here is a blog listing I'll keep.

A Bit unusual, but this nice blog --- I think the lady is 79 yrs old and celebrated a wonderful birthday --  so that I just want to keep her link.   I didn't see a google follow button.......

The picture really says how I feel.... waiting for God and his bright sunshine to open up!!!  I know He will.

Trust God from the bottom of your/my heart,   Don't try to figure out everything on your/my own....Listen for God's voice in everything you/I do. . . Everywhere you/I go... He is the one who will keep you/me on track.    Proverbs 3:5-6 (from the Message Bible -- a Translation)

High Flyin Dreams...... The Legend Remembered !

Alexander Eaglerock - Manufacturer was Alexander Aircraft Corp.
The wife and daughter of this extra-ordinary 1932 Mechanic/Pilot.... is my quilting friend Mrs. Hannah Allen and her daughter Thomisina !!!

Why is it..... only the Lord knows and has endowed me with a dream .... vision a wonderful quilt..... pieced and embroidered airplanes... as a tribute to my friend and her husbands accomplishments!

Mrs. Hannah Allen said this poster map (32" x 48 1/2") lays folded behind an organ in her home, it was displayed in a museum event and given to her.   It shows the fourteen or more flight stops by Banning and her husband Thomas Cox Allen.

What is a Quilt?

Roderick Kiracofe, historian of quilting, has noted that "quilts, like diaries, are an accumulation of bits and pieces of the maker's life, a repository of ideas, hopes and feelings." As with all things, a quilt is a reflection of society as a whole, as well as a reflection of its individual maker.
