Xerxes and quilts.

Xerxes, originally uploaded by bertine.

I spent a good amount of last week ripping seams that I did wrong. Then I had to recut the black sashing and re-sew them to the blocks for my mom's quilt this weekend. It was good to make progress on a quilt again. I am hoping that I will have most of the top done before the weekend.

Xerxes is obsessed with the sewing machine. I think he likes the sound it makes. He also likes to lay on any new bits of fabric that I make. He is the official quilt block tester to see if it each one is comfortable enough.

Perhaps with his multiple colors he feels a kinship to quilt pieces?

My grandmother used to sing this annoying little mantra at me when I was sewing: First you learn to rip, then you learn to sew.
