"I have not failed, I have just found 10,000 ways that won't work!" Thomas Edison
Yesterday....105! Today...79! And Monday when we were in Granbury, our car temperature showed 113! I don't think I hae ever seen a themometer read that high!
I just watched a short video that one of my quilter friends had put out on Facebook...It was an interview by Susan Shie at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham, England. Susan's website is http://www.turtlemoon.com/ and her blog is http://www.susanshie.blogspot.com/ . I didn't see the interview on either yet but I bet it will show up soon. I am interested in her technique more than I am in her final product...although it is very interesting, it is just a little way out for me. But she is a marvelously creative spirit!! I would love to take her workshop sometime.
I just finished reading "A Reliable Wife"...it is touted as a Gothic novel and, although it is set up similar to that genre, it is more contemporarily written. It takes place in winter, Wisconsin, 1907...a gentleman puts an ad in the Chicago paper for a reliable wife and as it is described..."she is anything but reliable"! It is written by Robert Goolrick, author of "The End of the World As We Know It". This is his first fiction novel and is a very intriguing read.
I am now starting "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver...a book sent to me by one of my "blogger buddies" after I had mentioned I had not read it. I think it will travel well with me as we head out.
