Here we are, Christmas is almost here. Everything should be red and green and sparkly. So what's the problem?
You know I love the color orange. It used to be my least loved color, but today it has become part of my repertoire. When I look back at my childhood, how could I have left that orange crayon in the box unused? Below, you will find an anatomically correct, Oreo, walking under some giant coneflowers on a warm background. Actually this was made of leftovers, but it is a really successful quilt.
Years back, before "Under" was created, the members of the quilt/art list helped me extend my selection of orange fabrics by sending me orange squares to create this colorful piece. I was hoping for 100 squares, but I actually received more than 300. Wow, That's Orange is one of my top 10 favorite quilts in my career. There is more of the story on my website.
So what's the problem? I'm wearing an orange top and jacket today; and I needed to wear my only pair of orange socks; my friend Sally gave them to me a few years ago. When I put them on, I realized there were holes in each heel, but I wore them anyhow! It's about time for these socks to go, sooooo sad, because I love them. I guess I know what I'll put on my list for Santa!
It is a sad day, but I will recover!
Merry Orange Holidays to everyone.

Make a pin cushion from the socks then you can enjoy them for a long time!
What a great idea. Thank you, they could be preserved forever!
