International Talk like a pirate day ..... Aaaargh

What is a pirate's favourite letter?   Aaaargh (R) or Sea (C)


Yes, yes, I live with boys, although I have to say mine have probably moved past that particular joke.
I am having a moment of too many projects, too much inspiration and nowhere near enough time.  When I was in Toronto recently I visited the Toronto Textile Museum, which had two curated exhibitions, one on gardens in textiles and the other showcasing beadwork.  Both definitely inspirational for a quilter with time on her hands.  And  even inspirational for the quilter with no time either.   Below are a few photos of some of the things I particularly liked.







The other beautiful thing was some fabric designed by local Toronto artists. I am planning to splurge and buy one or two pieces. I think the wolves and rabbits plus maybe that great purple.  If you want to splurge with me let me know and I will share postage with you!  I am figuring that a birthday present to self is an acceptable excuse for this extravagance.
