• I'm Surprised I Still Remember My Xanga Password

  Wow!  Is it easy for me to get out of the Xanga habit!

  However, I have been busy sewing.  Here is a photo of The Professor's niece's high school graduation quilt.

  

  The recipient had requested a quilt with pink, yellow, and orange.  The orange print squares are much more pink in reality than the browser shows.  (Also, the yellow squares are actually made from a print fabric, too.)

  Because the quilt is so big (queen size), I chose a simpler pattern, so I could finish it by May.  The quilt is professionally machine quilted with a variegated thread.

  

  The photo above is a section from the back of the quilt.  I think the woman who did the quilting did an awesome job; she certainly made this the most beautifully quilted quilt of all of the ones I've made.

  Last week The Professor was in Shanghai, China.  He said the air pollution was terrible; there was no way I could have coped.  While he was gone, I made curtains for Iltflinthills and IMO's basement.  I was pleased with how carefully I managed to keep the curtains' dimensions correct without having the windows there to check and recheck on the accuracy of the curtains' size.

  Also last week, while The Professor was gone, I celebrated my birthday by spending the day with Iltflinthills.  She and I went to see IMO at work; then we saw the movie The Counterfeiters.  The movie was very sad but quite good. 

  The next night Tremor3258 took me to see Iron Man.  Tremor3258 had already seen the movie once, but my comic-culture expert son wanted to be sure I saw Iron Man in the theater.  He was right about it being a good movie.

  I was actually quite touched by how Tremor3258, Iltflinthills, and IMO kept checking with (or perhaps, on) me while The Professor was in Asia.  Their concern made me feel really loved.
