Sometimes I wish I could remember more about our life thirty years ago when our children were toddlers. How did I spend my days? Did I spend as much one-on-one time with Liz as I do with e? I probably did, I just don't recall what a typical day was like. I know I put her in the stroller and we walked to South Shore occasionally. We had just one car, so if I needed it for a doctor's appointment or something, I had to take Randy to work in San Leandro then pick him up at the end of the day. Sometimes Liz and I took him for a picnic lunch at a park near his office. Carol and I took the children to the park and other places. But I don't remember day-to-day details. I did have piano students most of those early years, with a teen sitter coming in to watch Liz. I did not quilt much, though I did work on cross-stitch projects as a I sat in a chair out front watching the girls play on the grass with neighbor children.
Yesterday I cut out the turquoise pieces for the Soul-Searching quilt. The red, pink, yellow and orange are already cut, as are some of the white and black pieces. Still to cut are blue, green, purple and dark (black? brown? gray? not sure yet) and lots more of the white/neutral pieces. The white pieces will link the colored shapes that remind me of Christmas ornaments. My goal is 24 different fabrics in each color without buying anything new.
