From TCQC 08-30-20

For the SAQA "challenge" of posting quilts in an alphabetical order I posted 26 quilts, but it wasn't a representative selection from the Thomas Contemporary Quilt Collection.  Because I am having continuing problems with access to my photo files I had to post what I could find that started with a certain letter.  Frustration to the umpth degree.  So, I will try to go back to my previous practice of posting a quilt from the Collection on Sundays.  In no particular order and as I can access my files.  I might have to do some photography if I can't have access.

Collecting the Alphabet 12-13-12

Last summer when Ruth Powers and I were traveling to Kalispell she talked about a blog where the writer collected letters of the alphabet.  We decided we might try it, but the pickings were slim.  Since then I have collected a few more letters.  On Sunday at Liberty Station, just across the street from Visions Art Museum, the lawn has been reseeded with rye grass which was brilliant green in the sunlight - see yesterday's Wordless Wednesday post.  Along the edge of the parking lot there is a row of long needle pines which drop their bundles of three needles to blow all over the grass and the blacktop.  I've discovered a couple letters for my alphabet collection there and Sunday I found another.

I suppose it is a silly thing to do, but sometimes silliness is a good thing.
