I just finished reading The Paris Wife by Paula McLain. It's a fictional account of Ernest Hemingway's first marriage as told by his wife, Hadley Richardson. It takes into account their time in Paris in the 1920's whe he wrote The Sun Also Rises and all of their real life friends such as Gertrude Stein and F. Scott Fitzgerald.This was a time after WWI. They were survivors. Celebrating every day as though it were their last. As Cole Porter wrote, "Anything Goes".
This is my "i" quilt (18" x 20"). We each took a vowel. Many ideas came to mind (like ice cream) but I like the graphic quality of the lower case 'i'. I originally thought of solid backgrounds with printed fabric i's but then I came across this great fabric in the stash that I had purchased from Kari (see earlier post) and this is what evolved.
Yesterday, the whole bunch went to Kalamazoo to celebrate my dad's 81st birthday. It was a beautiful day to travel and a fine day for a birthday party complete with corned beef and cabbage, of course!

I really like what you're doing with circles in the last three quilts you've posted photos of on your blog.
"Ditto" Ruth's comments, Lisa. I love them all. How great you could
celebrate your Dad's 81st birthday! May you all have many more such milestones to celebrate.
