Esther e-mailed me and told me to get on with it, already, she wants photos of my projects. Isn't it nice that she really wants to see what I write about? Well, sort of. You see, Esther, I don't have any photos, yet, because of brain-drain. The idea of taking photos before taking my hand-piecing blocks to the quilt shop was so sensible, it drained out of my head before it could attach itself to a randomly passing memory cell. Then there's the finished Fairy Quilt #2. It isn't really finished at all. I have to locate some fairies and stitch them to the top and then sew on the borders. I guess in addition to brain-drain, I suffer from prevarication-itis. However, I should recover before the end of the year. Maybe.
So . . . instead of photographs of projects, I could send pictures of my recent sketches. But since Esther has seen them all while we were in Vermont and I was working on them there, that won't fill the bill either.
However, I will include a special photograph that I know Esther did not take while in Vermont.

| Empty Chair |
Some day this wonderfully worn, multi-colored chair will figure in one of my paintings, but for now it's just an empty chair waiting for - something. What would you put in or on this chair?
Finished projects? Embroidered, soft pillows? Half-read book? Sheaf of music? List of things to do? Shared memories? or a good friend/sister like Esther?
Esther, I'm thinking Noel will soon be back to using some of those brain cells that are currently on vacation. She just has lots going on now - especially with cleaning out dad's house.
