“I stand here on the summit of the mountain. I lift my head and I spread my arms. This, my body and spirit, this is the end of the quest. I wished to know the meaning of things. I am the meaning. I wished to find a warrant for being. I need no warrant for being, and no word of sanction upon my being. I am the warrant and the sanction...Whatever road I take, the guiding star is within me; the guiding star and the loadstone which point the way. They point in but one direction. They point to me.”

Happy Friday and Happy October!
I hope you have had a productive and fruitful week! I certainly have! I finally finished the small half square triangles for the Anniversary Quilt, and I worked on a layout. I am still working on the second version, but I hope to have those half square triangles finished next week. (I also hope to piece some rows, too!)
So here is my progress:
The full layout…except the final rows. I ran out of space on the table. Then, a close up of the final rows and my cute socks that I had to wear because of the cool fall weather!
I would love to see your quilts if you are working along with me, or if you have a quilt you are excited to be working on! Send me a DM, tag me on Instagram, or leave a comment.
I have been thinking about how I want to quilt this quilt...any ideas?
This week has been busy and productive, but it has also been very sad. Several people in my community have died from Covid 19, and a student from Appalachian State University has died from the virus, also. Please don’t take the pandemic lightly. Wear a mask, wash your hands, stay home when you can, and be socially vigilant and distant when you cannot stay home.
Have a great week. Stay safe.
Sending Quilting Love,
Ginger
Coming Next Week: Anniversary Quilt layout.
I am Reading: Cræft: An Inquiry Into the Origins and True Meaning of Traditional Crafts by Alexander Langlands and The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas (unabridged). I am also reading various poetry.
