Blue Green Baby Boys Vintage Toys Tapestry
In my love for Swedish art, I went hunting for a tapestry of mine-the one that Agnes brought from Sweden late 1800s.In the process, I came across an adorable baby illustration- done tapestry style-Had I not already purchased a gift for Ana's
baptism, I might have chosen this. She has a beautiful needle point that my step-mother did for her father. A family heirloom. I made a quilt that I personally embroidered. It took about
300 hours to complete. I did my own stamping and stitching of twelve unique rabbit scenes. I adore rabbits and all quaint animals such as those Beatrice Potter would do.- Also Tasha Tudor. Both were writers who illustrated . Another-Graham Greene and .Wind in the Willows.~ My mother read the story to me when I was little. The animals came to life.Wonderful literature. O occasion, she read to us girls under a blanket. We set up a tent and put a light underneath. Be creative; make reading come alive and real. Eat apples and raisins and popcorn and sip hot chocolate. Read during the blizzards and rainstorms...
I just looked at the title of this and remembered a quilt I was to design. It is Swedish and of Swedish toys that are vintage. Perhaps this is an angel speaking to me..a reminder. Can't you see it? Someday when I'm long gone, my granddaughter's granddaughter will discover my quilts. Perhaps she will be doing a thesis for college-the kind where you need to know about your past. My quilt will have a label. "Who was this?" she'll ask, delighted to have made a tangible discovery. I will have left an echo of joy. Whether it's the rabbits or the toys...I will have contributed to someone's curiosity. Joy is giving joy and opening up minds...a gift.
Was off to the cemetery, It is simply too cold in Nebraska.
