Quilt above by Barbara Baume.

A while back I posted a picture of a quilt of my mother's which at the time I called "Eagle Medallion" since I didn't know its correct name. Later I found out that it was called "Ever Vigilant", and that the pattern was by Barbara Baume, and was published in Quilters Newsletter in July 2002, so I went back and added that info to the original post. And apparently Barbara found that entry, and she wrote me a very nice e-mail about it. I love it when people do things like that. (She said, among other things, that the eagle's wings are so short because that was all the fabric she had!) And she sent me the link to her version, which is the one above. Click over and look at my mother's quilt - they are very, very similar. It's interesting to compare.

Crazy

Constellation Casket Cover (detail), originally uploaded by Mellicious.

I found hard copies of some of my pictures from 2002, and when I scanned them the picture quality seemed to be better than what I had, so I went in and replaced some of them, like this one - the picture above is a detail shot from it. In 2002, I was into crazy quilts, so my pictures that year leaned heavily towards that. It was also the first year that I did this crazy thing where I put my pictures online and gave people the link to go look at them - which proved very popular and I've done it ever since. (I remember that I felt very silly writing down the names of the quilts. Sometimes I still do.)
