They remind me of my parents as I use them but I wish I could have showed them how lovely they look. <br />Isn’t it amazing when we can find an old photo. I was surprised how similar the color were - and so many years apart.<br />Atul is a talented writer. I haven’t read his other books but they are on my list - as soon as I clear a bit more off the bookshelf.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12922656955543465650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-43664078728571391552019-11-10T22:13:13.287-06:002019-11-10T22:13:13.287-06:00Ann I thought I had left a comment here but on scr...Ann I thought I had left a comment here but on scrolling back down I see I am wrong! I admit to coveting your linen hand towels - wonderful. I found myself thinking that both quilts here had a similar colour theme but then I read that the last one is 25 years old, unbelievable.<br />Your book by Atul Gawande is on my bookshelf and such an interesting and thought provoking read. Have you read his other two books 'Complications' and 'The Checklist'?Mystic Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13233427034920359604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-33007848102073267172019-10-28T23:36:26.897-05:002019-10-28T23:36:26.897-05:00Ooo.

I think working in a series is great, you learn lots, getting better and better and getting more and more insight into what not to do and what to do.<br />Thoughtful book for sure. At any point in life, from the first days to the last, being cared for, then giving care, then being cared for again, looking ahead patiently and treating others, young or old, the way we would want to be cared for.<br />That would be a good book for high school and college age people to read.Janiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11494933770754796059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-231509571353812426.post-25791249498394703382019-10-22T13:32:30.300-05:002019-10-22T13:32:30.300-05:00You come up with the best combinations.
