I see him in some of my son's traits, so this poem was very meaningful to me.<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; text-transform: uppercase;">InTRODUCTION BY TED KOOSER, U.S. POET LAUREATE</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
I highly recommend a new anthology called <i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Healing the Divide: Poems of Kindness and Connection</i>, edited by James Crews and published by Green Writers Press in Brattleboro, Vermont. Here's just one of the many fine poems, this one by Jeffrey Harrison, whose poetry we've published here before. His most recent book is <i style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-weight: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Into Daylight</i> (Tupelo Press), in which this poem was originally published, and he makes his home in Massachusetts.</div>

A Drink of Water</h3>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When my nineteen-year-old son turns on the kitchen tap<br />and leans down over the sink and tilts his head sideways<br />to drink directly from the stream of cool water,<br />I think of my older brother, now almost ten years gone,<br />who used to do the same thing at that age;<br /><br />And when he lifts his head back up and, satisfied,<br />wipes the water dripping from his cheek<br />with his shirtsleeve, it's the same casual gesture<br />my brother used to make; and I don't tell him<br />to use a glass, the way our father told my brother,<br /><br />because I like remembering my brother<br />when he was young, decades before anything<br />went wrong, and I like the way my son<br />becomes a little more my brother for a moment<br />through this small habit born of a simple need,<br /><br />which, natural and unprompted, ties them together<br />across the bounds of death, and across time . . .<br />as if the clear stream flowed between two worlds<br />and entered this one through the kitchen faucet,<br />my son and brother drinking the same water.</div>

I entered two quilts into our guild's quilt challenge, which was to take one of three vintage quilt blocks (hexagon, fan, or maple leaf) and make a modern quilt with it; I chose the maple leaf for both of my quilts. The two quilts in the above picture are mine; the one on the left won a white ribbon.</div>

We thought that the main highlight of the trip would be the Tokyo International Great Quilt Festival, but there were so many other wonderful places to see and things to do that the quilt show, while fabulous to see, was just one more. We both enjoyed almost everything about the trip (except for having to remove our shoes at several places; we both wear orthotics in our shoes and find it very uncomfortable to walk without them). I have completed 11 scrapbook pages of the trip that I will be sharing over the next few days, and several of the places we went didn't allow photos to be taken inside. As always, you can click on the pages to see them larger and read the journaling.<br />

But my husband and I went on safari to South Africa, Zambia, and Botswana in September, and it was the trip of lifetime. We made a scrapbook of the trip, and I want to share that scrapbook here. I have scrapbooked much of my life, and I've been doing my scrapbooking digitally for many years now. In the past, I would create a page, print that page on my photo-quality, large-format home printer, and then put the page into a page protector in an album. My photo-quality printer died last year, and we bought a VERY inexpensive replacement for it that is neither photo-quality nor large-format; the largest size paper it can print on is 8.5" X 14" (our large-format printer could print on 13" X 19" paper, making it easy to create 12" X 12" scrapbook pages). I had never used a service to print my scrapbook pages before, which means I had also never created a whole book. But this trip was so special that we felt it deserved its own book. So my husband and I worked together to create this book. The majority of the photos are his; the layouts of the pages are mine. The journaling is from both of us. We ordered the book from <a href="https://www.adoramapix.com/">Adoramapix</a>, and we are extremely pleased with the results. The book has 42 pages plus the cover, so I will upload them in several posts over a number of days. This first post shows the cover, our itinerary, and the first 3 pages. You can click on the pages to see them larger and read the journaling.<br />

I have a friend who I met on my trip to Greece, and then again in France, who loves fountain pens as much as I do (in fact, we went to a pen store together in Paris, where she bought a nice pen and I bought a leather pen case). She lives in Annapolis, and I went to visit her last week. We attended the DC Pen Show and had so much fun. Before the show, she showed me around Annapolis and we even found some time to sketch together (I haven't been doing much sketching lately; I've been concentrating on sewing and quilting).<br />
<br />
After the pen show, I took the train to Philadelphia to meet my cousin, who lives in a suburb along the Pennsylvania Railroad. She showed me around Philly, where my two favorite things to see were the Barnes Foundation, with its huge collection of Impressionist paintings, and the Liberty Bell, because of its historical significance.<br />
<br />
These are the scrapbook pages I did to remember the trip. You can click on the pages to see them larger and read the journaling.<br />

I've decided that they need to be here as well. There are 13 pages, so this will be a long post. You can click on any page to see it larger and read the journaling.<br />

I am using an app on my iPad called Project Life to do my scrapbook pages these days, and it is so much quicker and easier than the way I used to do pages. Partly because I used to agonize over how a page looked, which I don't do so much any more, and partly because the app is just so easy to use. The app uses a grid format that I like, and it allows me to actually get pages done. So, here are my two newest pages:<br />

Our son, daughter-in-law, and two grandsons visited us the last week in June. Our older grandson, Eli, loves to fish with his grampa. Our younger grandson, Owen, is a really happy baby most of the time (as long as he isn't hungry).<br />

I'm really enjoying our new car that we picked up last Friday. It's the first SUV I've ever owned. It has all the new safety features, which is the whole reason I wanted a new car in the first place.</div>

I have been considering a variety of cars with new safety features for a few months now, and finally decided on the RAV4. It has the following safety features:<br />
<br />
Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist<br />
Automatic High Beams<br />
Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection<br />
Dynamic Radar Cruise Control<br />
<br />
I drove it to Oklahoma City after I picked it up on Friday and love the way it drives! I will also enjoy having a car that holds a lot more than my 2011 Camry, and is also quite a bit shorter. We will be giving the Camry to our son in October.<br />
<br />
Here it is:<br />

This workshop took place at Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California. It was a great class in a beautiful location, although I missed one full day of class because I came down with the worst stomach virus I’ve ever had. I worked on two quilts at the workshop and have now finished both of them.<br />
<br />
The first quilt was started as exercises given to us by Jean Wells. She brought solid color fabrics of many different colors, and on the first day we were to choose 6 of her fabrics. We didn't know what we were going to be doing with them when we selected them. She demonstrated cutting and sewing gentle curves, and we were to use our fabrics to practice doing the same. She continued demonstrating a variety of things that we were supposed to do, always without patterns; we were choosing from among our 6 fabrics and sewing them together in various ways. This is called improvisational piecing.<br />
<br />
The next day we were to make blocks from our 6 fabrics. We could use the pieces we had done in the earlier exercises, or not; I used mine in the centers of my blocks. After we sewed our blocks, we were to put them together into a composition; I used some of the leftover pieces from the day before in this composition as well. The only fabric I added to mine was the background; all the other fabrics in the quilt are the 6 that I chose from Jean Wells' fabrics. I call this quilt, "An Exercise In Letting Go." It measures 22" X 46 1/2".<br />
<br />

<br />
We were also supposed to bring photographs with us to use for inspiration. Although I brought quite a few photos, it turned out that I didn't bring very many that were usable for the way Jean Wells wanted us to use them. But I did find one that I could use.<br />
<br />

<br />
I traced the major shapes onto tracing paper, then decided to crop it to use just the center section. I used the color scheme and the general shapes from the photo to create this quilt, which I call "A Paris Window." It measures 17 1/4" X 28 1/2".<br />
<br />

<br />
I highly recommend Jean Wells as a teacher; I only wish I had been able to attend the whole class from start to finish. Not only did I miss one day of class due to illness, I also arrived late due to a last minute schedule change. This meant that I missed the introductions before class and the actual instructions regarding choosing our 6 fabrics. I was told by another student when I arrived to choose 6 fabrics, but I learned later that students actually chose 5 fabrics, then Jean Wells talked to them individually about their choices. After discussing their 5 choices, they chose a 6th fabric (they didn't know in advance that they would be choosing a 6th fabric).<br />
<br />
Even though I didn't have the full class experience, I am very happy with how my quilts turned out, and I really enjoy working in this new way.Cheryl Gebharthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18397847473688573549noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17648048.post-33704342301814749582018-06-12T17:55:00.000-05:002018-06-12T17:55:34.467-05:00New HeaderI have been meaning to update my blog header for a really long time, and I finally decided that today was the day. It didn't really take that long; I'm not sure why I waited so long. The three quilts in the header are, from left to right, Sticks & Stones, A Paris Window, and Happy As A Clam. All three are my original designs. Sticks & Stones and Happy As A Clam are improvisationally pieced (meaning that I didn't have a plan for the final outcome when I started each quilt) and were done independently. A Paris Window was started in a class I took from Jean Wells Keenan in February of this year at Empty Spools Seminar and used a photo I took in Paris in the fall of last year as my inspiration.Cheryl Gebharthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18397847473688573549noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17648048.post-26666949633719814582018-06-06T08:57:00.000-05:002018-06-12T17:36:14.496-05:00Fiberworks 2018I am thrilled to announce that one of the quilts I showed in my last post, Sticks & Stones, has been accepted into Fiberworks 2018 by Fiber Artists of Oklahoma (FAO). According to FAO’s <a href="http://fiberartistsok.org/">website</a>: “Oklahoma’s largest and best-known juried fiber arts show will celebrate its 40th year with Fiberworks 2018.” I have considered submitting quilts to the show in the past, but never have. I’ve attended the exhibit many times and have always been impressed with it.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
According to the prospectus: “This 40th annual exhibit provides Oklahoma fiber artisans an opportunity to showcase their work encompassing traditional crafts to innovative art. This eclectic show honors quality workmanship and original design. The exhibit also educates the public about the many facets of fiber artistry by presenting a wide range of media, techniques and traditions. The event will be held from June 15, 2018 through August 10, 2018 at Individual Artists of Oklahoma (IAO) Gallery, in Oklahoma City’s Film Row District, at 706 W Sheridan, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Gallery hours are 12 noon to 6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday.” </div>

This is where you sew pieces of fabric together without a plan and see where it leads. I have also started naming my quilts more consistently; I used to only name a quilt occasionally. Here are two of my latest quilts:<br />

I called this "Happy As A Clam" for two reasons. First, it made me happy to make it. And second, the quilting pattern on the main (center) square is called clamshell. It is 15" W X 18" H.<br />
