To me the quotes and especially the words about quotes illustrate how nothing is truly new and original. We just quote others many times unknowingly.Jane Hartfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18214548826723915490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4728166793718979713.post-72978399152182691422017-04-17T09:43:04.507-04:002017-04-17T09:43:04.507-04:00Rita, such a clever way to illustrate quotes... w...Rita, such a clever way to illustrate quotes... who knew?

As always, your work is outstanding; you used so many different techniques, and the piping is perfect for enhancing the binding.

I think they look like some sort of little bugs; perhaps they lay eggs that turn into book worms! As for your quotation--you're quoting here one of America's great philosophers and writers of the 19th century. I used to teach a few of his works to my junior English students. So, for me, this quilt has special meaning! Yes, it even makes me a little nostalgic!<br />Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.com
