I didn't get a chance to blog about it yesterday, but I finished the Good Deed quilt. I'm glad to be finished with it. I presented it to Vicky today. Here is Vickie holding it...
Joe gave me a nice necklace and a book: The Book of Genesis Illustrated by R. Crumb. If you don't know R. Crumb, well, you probably should, even if you end up hating him. He is thought of as the father of the underground comic. My first run in with R. Crumb came when my dad bought a Janis Joplin album called Cheap Thrills. It was a live album with Big Brother and the Holding Company, and the cover was illustrated by Crumb. I would look at that a lot, the illustrations really appealed to me, even at 8 years old. I'll give you some links to investigate if you feel like it.
