Don’t give a hoot

Barn owls don't give a hoot. They screech and hiss and purr instead.

Just shy

Are raccoons reclusive, or just shy?

Bees of course

She drew me a picture when she was seven, of the way she wanted her ‘13’ quilt to look.  She wanted honeycomb, lots of honeycomb.  And dripping honey.  And a flower.  And bees of course.  That goes without saying.  

Two sides

Every quilt has two sides.  It’s not always clear which side is up and which is down. 

Weighty

Aren't traditions a wondrous thing? We have a Turned Thirteen tradition in our family.  As each of my grandchildren have teetered on the brink of teenage years I have upcycled denim into a quilt: a weighty gift befitting a weighty moment in time.
