The Goodnight Quilt by Mary Jane Hannaford. Michele of Pennsylvania Piecemaker wrote a beautiful post about this quilt
Lace on very large scale murals is both beautiful and amazing.
One of the Ninety and Nine. This song was written by Michael McLean after he'd had read the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15: 4-7. This is especially apropos if you feel left out or unnoticed because you're not the one the Savior went to find. If you want the story behind the song, listen from the beginning of the video, here.
Why not tock-tick instead of tick-tock? And about the order of adjectives. There's not a link for this image below, just the image. I love learning about words, word origins, idioms, and other interesting things about words and language. I thought this article was too fun. Here's the link to an explanation for this phenomenon about the order of adjectives, called the rule of ablaut reduplication.
Quilt Show Photos at Quilt Inspiration from the Springville Museum of Art here, here, here, here, and here. There were some amazing quilts there. I was especially taken with the first post in the last link. Beautiful!
Some Birds Changed Their Tune during the pandemic. What would a post highlighting links to enjoy be without a nature post? Be sure to listen to the two 30 second audio clips.
I hope you find at least one post to enjoy!

WOW that Hannaford quilt is totally amazing--a life story in fabric--the figures are so evocative--and I LOVE the idea of a poem on the quilt...
ReplyDeleteso personal...thanks so much for sharing this Hugs, Julierose
You're welcome, Julie. I'm glad you enjoyed the quilt.
DeleteIsn't that Hannaford quilt wonderful...so many items of interest included. It reminded me of a family named Hansford that were our next door neighbours in a tiny outport I taught in. Wonderful folks. I had read that article about birds changing up their tune during the pandemic. Birds will sing earlier to beat the traffic sounds I've read. They are very attuned to our activities. I grew up with the ninety and nine story...very interesting. Thanks for all of this Nancy.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Jocelyn. The Hannaford quilt is so fascinating to me. I wish I could see it in person.
DeleteAs I was including that post about the birds I thought of you and wondered if you would already know something about birds and their songs as relating to human activity.
Instead of commenting on the wonderful primitive quilt, I will thank you for the links to the additional articles and tidbits you found interesting. I especially enjoyed the one on linguistics - I,A,O combinations. Fascinating!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed some of the posts, Anonymous. They are ones I particularly enjoyed and wanted to remember and/or share.
DeleteI got sidetracked by that quilt, now have done a few more reads. I loved the grammar article, so interesting. Hip hop, nit-pick, lol. Will read about the birdsongs next...Fun blog feature, Nancy!
ReplyDeleteYes, that quilt's pretty interesting, isn't it? I wish the photos would enlarge at the website so I could see more detail, but I'm happy to see what they gave us. I'd love to make that kind of a quilt, though not exactly the same.
DeleteI mostly post the links because I want to be able to find them again later.
