 As I have worked on this memory quilt I have had a running list of ideas in my visual journal crossing off ideas that I couldn’t make work, adding others as I thought of them or found something that prompted an idea…every so often writing an updated list of what I would still like to include.
I had wanted to have a tent because when we all go home for Christmas the backyard becomes a camping ground…This recent list does not include a tent because I had asigned it to the to hard basket…imagine my delight when I opened one of the packets of mixed buttons that I purchased the other day from the Crafty Frog to discover a little blue tent…The tent is a little more plasticy than I would normally use without painting it but I am running out of time to fiddle about with the paints and besides it is a good tent blue, tents are sort of plasticy and I had to find a place for it just because I had it…..I also found a place for the bicycle button.
 
And it wouldn’t be a crazy quilt without a Spiders Web for good luck…for a little fun I have stitched it on the book fabric.
