I did some piecing and I quilted the water quilt which now has it's official title. I don't actually put the names of quilts out there until they are done or mostly done. That way I'm sure they actually are what I decided to name them. Anyway, this quilt is named "Middle Passage Mediations". I'll take a non-blurry picture soon.
The fabric is hand dyed. And it is machine pieced and quilted.
I even quilted a ship on it.
I don't really have too much to say about what's going on with this quilt. Or I have so much to say that I don't know where to start. I'm not sure which is true. Suffice it to say, I think every person has something in his or her consciousness that sort of haunts them. It is useful to process these things and meditate on why they grip you. I think it might also be useful to get them out of your head an up on a wall where you can gain some perspective. That's all I have to say about that for now.
Update on the Blair Witch. I've managed to stay one step ahead of her with hand sanitizer and mentholated vaporizers. It seems like she's not going to get my vacation. But I've seen enough scary movies to know that as soon as you let you guard down, something crawls out of the TV and gets you. And yes, I know those are two different movies. Risk is everywhere.

hi there and happy healthy quilty vacation to you!
i'm currently reading a history of African American emigration to Africa from the 1700's to the present...its entitled Middle Passages...it quite dynamic as it gets into personal relationships of the times and the contradictions and evolution of ideas in such notables as Paul Cuffee, Martin Delaney, Henry Turner, etc. Highly recommend it!
