The Potato Quilt
Just when I think my creative energy is exhausted, out of nowhere comes some silly inspiration. I had one last Grandchild quilt to make. The 4 granddaughters and one grandson of Bertie Carter, during her lifetime always spent Christmas Eve at her house and this is their first year that she will have been gone at Christmas. So, I set about making 5 quilts (one for each) with no plan for which grandchild would get which quilt. Katy, my daughter came up with a plan: We'll play board games and the winner will get to choose a quilt, then the second winner, etc. What is the incentive to go beyond the usual deference to each other, in politeness? The Potato Quilt! Who would want the last remaining reference to grandmother to be in the form of a quilt that has potatoes on it? Maybe someone.... or then again, maybe it will be the last place consolation prize... or the quilt of any child who fails to attend. Who would say we have not kept our sense of humor?
