Getting there
You
know, I actually would've have this entire King King quilt done by now
if I hadn't had the bright idea in media res to add quilting to
the latticework. It's lovely, I think it works well and will be a useful
addition, but oh dear Lord I'm at the point where I just want this puppy
finished and off my sewing machine.
So, I still need to finish all the horizontal lattice quilting, then the interlocking hearts on the edges, THEN all I have to do is trim off the excess, add the binding and toss it all in the wash with a heaping dose of Shout. Tomorrow night, maybe? Maybe.
And no, I'm not watching the Super Bowl tomorrow -- I'm a football fan but I don't give a hoot about either teams, and I'll catch the best of the commercials on YouTube later on. Lyndon? Even if he wasn't English and completely uninterested in gridiron football (what the rest of the world calls America football, since 'football' was already taken for what we call soccer. Are you confused yet, because I am...), he's gaming tomorrow night. I'll probably put on a movie to listen to while I sew.
Oh, while I'm here, I must mention one of the funniest political posts I've seen in quite some time -- John McCain winning the endorsement of Isengard and Saruman the White. Maybe you need to be a LOTR fan to get this, but I am in sheer friggin' awe of the genius who wrote:
Despite the fates of his former opponents, there are still leaders who are not cowed by McCain's powers. "The host of Gondor shall arise, and so shall the Roharrim, and one America shall arise, and we shall join together as one America, standing for hope, and as in the jewel on my brow is the last light of the Two Trees of Valinor, and as my brother is truly the heir of the Numenoreans, Elessar, we shall vanquish this great evil," said Senator Barack Obama (D-Illinois), in a campaign stop at a Winchell's in Stockton, California.
In the Clinton camp, the disappointment was palpable - the campaign is reported to have been in contact with Isengard for weeks negotiating Saruman's endorsement.
"In the place of a Dark Lord you would have a Queen! Not dark but beautiful and terrible as the Morn! Treacherous as the Seas! Stronger than the foundations of the Earth! All shall love me and despair!," said Hillary Clinton, and after a long, silent pause before the stunned press corps, she lowered her arms and boarded the flight for Newark.
Bravo, sir. Bravo.
