Blatant re-blog -- WORTH IT

After a poignant conversation over lunch today with my transatlantic friend and quilt scholar Sue Marks, (scroll down on that link) -- wherein I shared the distinct lack of respect I feel from traditional art media, and she declared the distinct lack of relevant criticism among contemporary quilt artists (I concur), --this exhibition including the legendary Judy Chicago, and focusing on her legacy magically appeared on microrevolt. Serendipity? Perhaps ... or evidence of my connections in the fiber universe?

L. lost his first tooth. Unbelievable. It's the tooth he was born with, the milk tooth, very rare, very special. I feel old.

Spring is in the air, and I am thinking about chicks. I watched this super-awesome PBS documentary The Natural History of the Chicken.
You should watch it, and then go to the Orscheln and get some chickies.

Shaun the sheep

I'm trying so hard not to re-blog, and I'm not really sure why, because it's totally 2.0 ... Hmm, I'll think about that one.

Anyway, this was too good not to share. My internet friend over at Weavezine recorded what can only be described as fantastic pre-Ides of March storm coverage including sheep, scissors, shivering, and sweaters. How's that for illiteration?
