I really love some of your posts - but I save most all of them. Sometimes they improve with age - which is what we all hope for personally, isn't it?

Ah, what a lovely thought and thanks for the very kind words. It made me think about what about me has actually improved as I age and what (aside from the inevitable physical decline) has worsened. and I think, sadly, it is a mixed bag, but I yes,I hope.

I first "met" you when I saw your display of these in the Gallery at the Central VT Hospital. I am a quilter and thought they were amazing. You could have the fabric printed at Spoonflower and sell it from that site. Not sure there is the right fabric for scarves, but there is for quilts.

Thanks so much. Have you seen any of Spoonflower's prins. Is the detail good?

Fantastic! Thank you! This is what i would do if i could do what you do 😁

Now you could print the photos on fabric and sew a quilt that would also keep you warm 🙂

Yes, I have thought of similar--actually silk scarves--but dont know what technology would reproduce the level of detail that makes me like them. and the, of course i'd have to market them and i am just terrible at that.

I went back and see that it's just the Machine Parts quilt that doesn't open up very far. Many of the others on the flickr site can get VERY big...

I wasn't able to get the level of detail I wanted on the flickr site, but WOW, I didn't realize you had made so many of these!!
