Papillon

Mom - butterflies for door

I've been looking at my "interesting" page again, and obviously flickr does not equate interestingness with page hits, because the picture with the most hits - this one - is several pages in. This is a really lovely piece and everything - it's one of my favorites, really - but that still doesn't tell me where all those hits are coming from. I'm curious, and so far flickr is not giving me the answer, darnit. It's a mystery.

Mini-quilt above by Billie Standley; based on a Dierdra McElroy pattern. (Scroll down on that page and you'll see a picture of the pattern.)

------------------------------

And in unrelated quilty news... my sewing room is taking shape, at least a little bit, and there has been ironing and cutting of fabric taking place there, and I made a visit to Office Depot earlier and now there is a new lamp in it, because it was way too dark in there. There's no overhead light, and I had a couple of lamps (and my mom's small Ott-Light) but it wasn't nearly enough. The new lamp is only 18 watts, but it puts out quite a lot more light than the 13-watt Ott lamp does. I put a better bulb in one of the other lamps, too, and between the two it doesn't look so gloomy in there any more. (Oh, and it was $20 cheaper than on the website, too - I wanted instant gratification and so I didn't figure I was getting the lowest price in the world but it's sort of nice to know it could've been worse!) (And who knew that Office Depot sold Ott Lights, anyway?)
