I propped this finished piece on my red chair in the living room. I will get its official photo later. The purples look blue in the morning light so I will try again in afternoon light.
I bought these woven labels with my name printed on them in the 1960's. To get the best price you had to order 100 of each. I have 5 different styles, 3 of which I ordered the 100. For small pieces this is all I do for labels, no name for the quilt and usually no date, although I sometimes write the year with permanent pen on the label. 
The sun is shining again today. It didn't get above freezing yesterday but my basement was warm with conversation and quilt making with my art quilters group. Today is supposed to be in the 40's and that precedes snow and colder weather later in the week. Winter is not over.
Last night the 2 opossums were back. The baby ran up into a tree. The mother was running frantically to the right, the left, to the back, toward the house, going in circles. Then the baby must have made some noise because then she was down below him getting up on her 2 back legs and looking up at him. Finally she went up the tree and coaxed him down. Then he sat very obediently 4 feet from her while she cleaned up under the bird feeder. I wonder what kinds of noises they made as she scolded him. I've never heard opossums language. It was fun to watch anyway.
