Next, I created increasing size tiles filled with my favorite motif, intersecting curved lines:

Finally, I worked with my number one theme, stars. I'll be doing a lot of work on patriotic quilts, so I'm trying to come up with a huge stockpile of star designs:

And of course, the doodling continues. I always have a pile of paper and pens on hand when ideas strike.
Time for some humor! You can't make this stuff up (might be the name of another blog...).
I call this story "High Strung in Edwardsville." Soooo, I'm zipping into the McDonald's drive-thru to throw food at my kids on our way to Little League (or soccer, or a swim meet, or Scouts, who knows) and I pull into the parking lot. There are two entrances, one from the front and one from the back. If you come in the back and are lucky, there's space to get into the drive-thru without going all the way around. Well, rush hour was starting up, so they had a person out there taking orders and the order station. Someone was ordering back with the person, but in front of her, the order station was wide open. No one else was in line, so I pulled in ahead of her to order at the same time.
I know, it wasn't exactly kosher, but she was aleady ordering so I figured it wasn't a huge deal. Of course my children admonished me for "cutting." Just as I was explaining that it wasn't "really" cutting, the woman in the other car is standing at my window screaming at me! Seriously!
"I was ordering! I've been waiting like I should and then you just cut in front of me!" I'm trying to stay calm and apologize, but she just kept screaming at me,
"What is WRONG with you! How dare you! I'm in a hurry!" I must admit that at this point my desire to stay calm was waning and I might have thrown out a comment about "getting a grip, it's just a McDonald's drive-thru."
After High Strung got back in her car, my kids just said "See?" Damn kids.
