My mother spent eight months making this quilt. Eight months of hand-stitching every flower, every animal, every single detail while my father was in memory care and she sat alone in their house trying to keep her hands busy enough that her mind couldn't spiral. She posted it on Facebook last week with the caption "My first quilt. What do you think?" and not one of her seventy-three friends commented. Not one.
I found her crying in her sewing room the next day, said she was "just being silly" but I knew what she meant. She's seventy-four years old and suddenly invisible. Her husband doesn't recognize her anymore. Her friends have moved to Florida or stopped calling. She pours everything she has left into fabric and thread and nobody even clicks like.
So I posted it in a quilting group on Tedooo app without telling her, just to see if I was crazy for thinking it was extraordinary. Within two hours she had three hundred comments. People asking about her techniques, her pattern sources, begging to buy her work. A quilt shop owner offered her a commission. A woman in Texas said she cried looking at the detail in those tiny flower petals. I showed Mom the messages and she couldn't even speak, just kept reading them over and over.
She joined Tedooo app that night and posted more of her work. She's sold four quilts in three weeks through her new shop there and has a six-month waitlist. Yesterday she called me from the fabric store, actually laughing, saying someone recognized her from the app. My mother exists again. Her work deserves to be seen and appreciated, and I'm so grateful there's finally a place where it is.

IMHO he’s the best casting for Bond. He got the shortest end of the straw with the timing and the budgets but he was flawless. #007

Timothy Dalton, the fourth James Bond actor, celebrates his 80th birthday. He was the Bond who understood the assignment most clearly. mi6-hq.com/sections/artic…

Umberto Eco, who owned 50,000 books, had this to say about home libraries:
"It is foolish to think that you have to read all the books you buy, as it is foolish to criticize those who buy more books than they will ever be able to read.
It would be like saying that you should use all the cutlery or glasses or screwdrivers or drill bits you bought before buying new ones.
There are things in life that we need to always have plenty of supplies, even if we will only use a small portion.
If, for example, we consider books as medicine, we understand that it is good to have many at home rather than a few: when you want to feel better, then you go to the 'medicine closet' and choose a book.
Not a random one, but the right book for that moment. That's why you should always have a nutrition choice!
Those who buy only one book, read only that one and then get rid of it. They simply apply the consumer mentality to books, that is, they consider them a consumer product, a good.
Those who love books know that a book is anything but a commodity."
