Neil and I were at Phil Larsen's office yesterday getting Neil's feet molded for his inserts. On the wall there was a small quilt made by one of the other doctors patients. It had four cowboy boots and the words "All I do is feet" across the top. So the first thing I do as soon as the door is closed and we are alone is go and examine this quilt. I had to look at the piecing, the stitching and the quilting and you know I turned it over. There was a nice label on the back which gave the name of the lady who sewed it and who it was for and when, and then of course the best part which was the title " A Direct Quote". So I thought about it for a minute and realized that the quote must be the "All I do is feet" part. But still, what a clever title. Some of my titles have been odd, and some don't seem to fit, but mostly they come from inspiration like the title floats out of the air and makes it's mark. So here is "3 Quarter Moons" - really it's 3 3/4 moons and I know that, but I thought the other way was more interresting. What's in the title? It really is just the name, but it does give you an opportunity to get a look into the mind of the person who made the quilt. So next time, turn it over, and see what it says.
