August 26, 2007 – I have been seeing pictures of women in the Middle East in the gray and tan heat of rocks and sand. I am so grateful. What a blessing to be living in a place where I can turn on the furnace or the air conditioning and create my own weather. My fabric is dry and pleasant, not damp or dry and dusty. I can sew unencumbered by a muggy atmosphere or a gritty whirlwind or a dim light. This is the best of all possible worlds.
