Observations of a librarian and quiltmaker who values the connections between and among people and organizations. Blocks in search of settings. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Getting ahead of schedule. I have many other things I should be working on, both nonquilting and quilting. However . . .The 2" strip bin is empty. (Not because I used them - I gave them away! See yesterday's post.)

Friends of ours are moving this summer. They were happy to take three dozen of the flattened empty boxes. The west wall, restocked. The antique bentwood chair in front of the bo...
