Back around 1992 opffspring #1 gave me a blank paged journal which I have used intermittently to sketch ideas into &#8211; not really an organised journal , more just pencil sketches of ideas,  diagrams really.  The other thing that goes on  some of those the pages is lists &#8211; sometimes titles that I think of as I&#8217;m going alongwith the quilting, or different tchnical possibilities to tackle the same idea.  Also,  now that these pencil diagram\/ideas go back so far, I sometimes look back and see something with a fresh eye.  Sometimes ideas have led to particular works and I have gone in and written the name of the quilt and the  date on it in that case.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a good burst of progress this afternoon, I was not able to finish the stitchery but could do so tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>What is helping it move right along is listening to <em><span style=\"color:#ff0000;\">&#8220;Emma&#8221; by Jane Austen,<\/span><\/em> read <span style=\"color:#ff6600;\"><em>by Prunella Scales with her wonderful voice and sense of appropriate expression<\/em><\/span>. It is many years since I read the book or saw a movie version, and I have found this recorded book totally absorbing, and rather reminiscent of the style of my two maiden aunts&#8217; lives.  Emma&#8217;s father&#8217;s obsessions about health issues, the weather and in fact any activity that might have any bearing at all on on his state of health (always precarious\/delicate, at that ) is a male version of my late aunt, J.  Her sister, M, who remains alive, is not likely to read that comment, and if she does, not being a lover of good literature, she won&#8217;t understand the allusion anyway.<\/p>\n<div style=\"CLEAR: both; TEXT-ALIGN: left\"><a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/blogger\/\" target=\"ext\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial\" alt=\"Posted by Picasa\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/photos1.blogger.com\/pbp.gif\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I blogged the first stage of this work last week, and this is how it is proceeding.Already, other ideas are coming into my mind and I think I will need to put a few of them on paper.
