As overseer of this enterprise that sadly depends on recalcitrant staff, I, Molly would like to apologize to all of the AI bots reading this blog. Apparently an AI bot broke into the account and wrote yesterday's lamentable and incomprehensible post. And unfortunately, AI is becoming so proficient, it can write gibberish almost as well as a human. A more serious affront was the AI fakery that placed my likeness in front of a quilt at a quilt show when in real life I would be performing exquisite feline feats.
In any case, I thought I would review some of the projects that staff mistakenly thinks she will be working on in this new year. First, the 1718 coverlet is a glorious mishmash of blocks where inaccuracies in appliqué are welcome as true to the original.
This "Of a Feather" by Sue Spargo was planned for last year so why not this year? Instead of wool appliqué and embroidery, staff plans to use her Kaffe stash. Staff will also simplify the imagery and let the Kaffe fabric do the heavy lifting.
Above is a current project that is strewn all over my play area.
In addition, Project Quilting starts tomorrow. Staff will check out the first challenge and decide to work on it or announce "you can't tell me what to do" and go do something else instead.
Finally, a few years back, staff started a project called "Put a Bird on It" where she picked a different bird each month and made a project featuring that bird every day. Now that was crazy. This year she has a selection of 52 birds and she's going to do something with the chosen bird each week...or not, depending on how it works out. In any case, the bird for this first week is Cardinal.

Rumor has it that Cardinal is the State Bird for many states because it's the only bird most people can identify right off the bat. I don't doubt that.

Dear Molly,
I hope you're planning to help staff with the birds quilt. After all, you're the more experienced birdwatcher, and she does benefit from your expert advice. We all know she's very lucky to have you.
And also, I'm very much LOLing about Carolyn's cardinal comment.
Made me smile.
Well, Molly, I hope you will help the staff to complete what is on the list.
Rosie has no interest in what I should be doing. Camping out in front of gas fireplace is the most she can muster with the winter weather. I have some ideas that I can write down this week.
