I totally agree about change so much change and it is good a mothers love is both constant and changing
Me I’ll most likely never tattoo my body my mother once was going to have my fathers military service # tattooed on the bottoms of her children (me) as he was to be sent to Turkey (military with family) and my mother (a true naive country girl) was sure her children would be “taken” “lost” and only be found safe if they were “tattooed” to be reunited with her.
Me I am a what if

Let them sell to you the new idea theories and implements while all the while looking for the instruments of yore that made our forerunners amazing quilts without all the technical assists. When I see the old quilts I remember they were made with pricked fingers and thimbles and loads of love.

Mystery solved…
Enjoy Portland! I’m in Tigard; west of Port.

I am 70 and thinking about what I want for my next one – I already have 2 and they mean something !

Think that was also my first night in a hotel…shhh.

I would love to see the tattoo before you get it removed.
I am surrounded by tattooed people. My kids, my significant other, but while there are many tattoos I dream of getting, I just haven’t been able to commit to permanently inking my skin.
I like what Bonnie said!

I love it myself. Have not been on a plane to go anywhere in a long time, but, maybe this year, to see an old college friend, in a state I’ve never visited before. Definitely looking forward to it. Enjoy your travels. Maybe we’ll run into one another in Houston at the Quilt Festival this year. Happy jet trails!

Who would think at 77 years old I now have three to four years quilting experience, thanks to you, your mom and other’s like you who have taught me so much.
Planes, Oh YES, since I was a child I wanted to ride on the wing, soar like an eagle wearing a captains suit. I was too short to be a flight attendant, too broke to get my pilot license.
Yes, taking off, flying above the clouds and the rush from the landing are built into my soul.
Thank you Mary for sharing this story.
May your flights always be safe and fun.
