Default Pattern isnspiration


After spending an evening explaining the difference between cashmere and
mohair, and how much less expensive it is to buy a fleece than it is to
buy an equivalent weight of wool yarn (wool prices are truly dreadful in
the US), it is no wonder that I woke up this morning with this stuck in
my head:

That link is a really excellent performance of that particular piece.

Of course while I was listening I was studying the CD cover on the screen
and plotting out ways of making a quilt of it. I came up with several
variations on the spot. Since I prefer piecing to appliqué, and that
star is mostly made of circles and other assorted curves, variations were
inevitable. There is enough to it that you can see a lot of different
ways to turn it into something spiffy in fabric.

Plus it is glowy, and glowy is right up there with shiny on my list of
favorite colours.

Thanks so much NM for the link. That performance was wonderful. I have
sung Messiah so many times - never heard it as precise as this - I loved
it. Then, of course, I was lured into clicking on the King's College
clip! My office used to be in a building just to the side of King's
College Chapel; and Stephen Cleobury took over from David Willcocks
while I was working there. Such lovely memories. A very nostalgic hour
has just been spent. I realise music doesn't play as much of a part in
my life as it used to. I must make time for much more.

I loved the CD cover too. I saw it in hexagons, partial hexagons - all
in varying sizes. Magical!

Thank you,

Pat on the green
