Nevertheless, the blog is wonderful -- proving once again what a clever artist you are and what a fun "drawer" you are. :) shuffield7https://www.blogger.com/profile/06777261862250438132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-59653699955692215502014-02-01T17:28:06.943-08:002014-02-01T17:28:06.943-08:00Hi Linda,

You've captured the warmth and affection with which your home is imbued, but the honest design also shows a quirky side - this is not an Ozzie-and-Harriet fantasy land.

Except to say that this is one of my favorites of all your little 12"x12" quilts. I think focusing on the strengths of home and family is such a powerful way to go with this theme. I have always thought your home in MA was charming and is really the epitome, in my mind's eye, of what a cozy family home ought to look like. I was IN your Amarillo home years and years ago, but have no memory of it. But I have heard so very much about your wonderful parents and those brothers of yours that are stellar men!Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01193658783135430973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-49478516489001859462014-01-15T14:33:08.276-08:002014-01-15T14:33:08.276-08:00Thanks to all of you for these comments!Thanks to all of you for these comments!Linda Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622069411237073813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-51058835410456341862014-01-15T14:32:30.680-08:002014-01-15T14:32:30.680-08:00I had to research The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and ...I had to research The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and figure you are referring to the sets! Thanx for the reference. I found on-line: "The first thing everyone notices and best remembers about 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' (1920) is the film's bizarre look. The actors inhabit a jagged landscape of sharp angles and tilted walls and windows, staircases climbing crazy diagonals, trees with spiky leaves, grass that looks like knives. These radical distortions immediately set the film apart from all earlier ones, which were based on the camera's innate tendency to record reality."<br />Linda Hickshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622069411237073813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7829354056212202313.post-72677283415296812152014-01-15T05:37:56.170-08:002014-01-15T05:37:56.170-08:00The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari !

It's not necessarily the symbolism of flags, weights, muscles, Boston Strong in bold letters -- all outward and aggressive signs of power. But strength is something actually quite internal -- the slow building up of confidence that comes from within, the home inside yourself.
