Marilyn Belford’s latest quilt is a likeness of contributor Rundy. Rundy often helps her with computer and handyman related problems, so she was quite familiar with his habits and features, though she did work from a photograph to make the quilt. If, like me, you are wondering what that plant is in the background, wonder no longer. It is entirely a figment of Marilyn’s imagination. In the original photo, Rundy is actually standing in a doorway. (Scroll down to see the original photo.) Even clicking on the image to see the detail, I bet you will find it as incredible as I did that the entire portrait is done with fabric and thread.
In its own way, frost may be one of the most beautiful things to happen in your garden all year . . . Don’t miss it. Like all true beauty, it is fleeting. It will grace your garden for but a short while this morning. . . . For this moment, embrace frost as the beautiful gift that it is.

That’s fantastic. Wonderful work!
I’m sorry, Alice, I should have been more clear. I meant when you scroll down the page at Marilyn’s website. In my post, the words “Marilyn Belford’s latest quilt” are a link to the page that has the image of the quilt. When you scroll down that page, you will see the photo that the quilt is based on at the bottom.
Sorry. Scrolling down did not show me any picture, only a space for comment.
