Walking Haiku 19 and 20
It’s often warm in Maine this winter. And it’s often really cold. We have yo-yo weather these days.
As I write, we are expecting a major snow storm, but here on the coast the snow may turn to rain later today.
No No Penny and I had a lovely walk on Monday, the first in some time.

Hard rain all night long
In February, in Maine
Global warming comes

February thaw
Sunshine brims from blue sky and
Sparks fire on the lake

Colors coat the lake
Sky blue, cloud silver, fir green
The sun comes and goes

The air smells of snow
Ice crusts the river shallows
Solstice time draws near

Haiku 11 and Learning Herringbone Pattern

White birches in the
Winter woods seem like ice spikes
Piercing the sky bowl.
Here’s my first attempt at making Victoria Findlay Wolfe’s herringbone pattern—from her new book MODERN QUILT MAGIC. It uses 2 by 8-inch strips. This SAMPLE has been trimmed to make a pillow. For right now I’m just putting this sample into the Parts Department box. Lord knows I do NOT need any more pillows in my house!!!
And I learned what I need to know.
I do think that I will use this pattern to make a Cotton+Steel low volume lap quilt—a project I have longed to make for some months now.

Beneath white snow sky
Cold-frame planted with seeds
Promise of green spring

One distant pine grows
Shoulder high over others
It must weather storms

Wind at top blows strong
And dips into the meadow
Blowing in weather
And it did. We had rain the next day,
