Quilt Patterns Found Everywhere

St, Patrick's Cathedral

Quilt patterns and inspiration can be found everywhere. While Bobby and I were wandering around Dublin, Ireland, we photographed floors in two cathedrals not two blocks apart, one a Catholic facility and the other Protestant. I have never been one to make hand appliqué for quilts although I love appliqué. But these floors and patterns might just push me over the edge. (Someone revive Judy Rhone, please.) The Celtic designs are simple, but beautiful. This floor is in St Patrick Cathedral.

Christ Church Cathedral

The floor in Christ Church Cathedral has quite a lot of black and white in it and the designs differ from one section to another.

When you see some inspiring design it is easy nowadays to take digital photos and file them for future reference. Don't waste opportunities to collect.

Construction Continues
The progress with the new streetscape on Madden Bridge Road seems a little slow at a glance, but those of us on the "inside" looking out at the young men who are working in the heat and dust think that it is moving along at a steady pace. We are sorry for the inconvenience and the temporary confusion of the construction, but when they are finished this is going to be good for us all. You will have clearly defined parking and safer, easier access to Heirlooms & Comforts. Not only that, our intersection of Gaines, Bank and Madden Bridge will be safer with the third stop sign in place. That means all traffic will stop at that corner and the risk of someone going much too fast thru the intersection will be reduced. At first, however, I think we all should be aware that some "regulars" thru the intersection might have difficulty noting the stop sign. Better watch carefully for a while to be sure they are going to stop.
