Links to Enjoy #2

This is a round up of posts (and two items that are not posts) that caught my attention and interest over the past month.  I hope you find something to enjoy.

The Goodnight Quilt by Mary Jane Hannaford.  Michele of Pennsylvania Piecemaker wrote a beautiful post about this quilt 

a month ago.  (Thank you, Michele.)  I was fascinated by the appliqued images of people and animals and also by the poem embroidered on the quilt.  I followed the link Michele included in her post and was delighted to see more photos and learn about the quilter who made it.  These kinds of quilts are so interesting to me because of the detail, the individuality of them, and the near-primitive style.  They seem almost autobiographical.

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.

When ice cream could kill you!  Gosh, I'm glad we can buy ice cream in cartons and that there are government regulations.

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!
