Dots in the Cemetery

This is the time of year Jim and I frequently ride past the cemetery.  We are keeping a check on our gingko friend whose leaves provide beauty against the blue sky.  

We decided it was time to go with cameras and quilts yesterday.  The color was nice, but the carpet of leaves I like for spreading quilts on the ground was a bit sparse.  It was crisp and cool and glorious.

I’ve written about our visits to Rose Hill Cemetery before.  The posts here and here include more images and some history of the place.

I carried several quilts, but Dots and Vines was one of them.  I posed her on a bench near the big gingko tree. 

Then I looked behind me on another bench and there was a serendipitous find – more dots.  Someone left her paint palette behind…just waiting to pose with my dots!  

We took more quilts…I’ll share those later.  And, I haven’t forgotten the story of my challenge quilt….it’s coming.

I've stitched my way through life. Early skills in utilitarian and decorative sewing have merged with art in the world of quiltmaking. My love of journaling has now crossed into the cloth world, too. I love old songs, old souls, old words; my collections attest to my fascination with memories.

  1. Your dots quilt is so beautiful on its own but with the yellow ginko leaves and the lichen covered bench these photos are over the top beautiful. I sure enjoy your posts Ms. Sandy!
