My best memories of my childhood are small moments — like this little pattern my Grama used to doodle. She would make sixteen dots, then circle around them in a single motion. She could also do five sets like that, all in one motion without lifting her pencil. I had to practice for a while before remembering how to do it — then I reproduced it on this practice quilt in variegated thread.

do you know how to do 5 at once? I can show you when you come.
Yay! I used to be able to do it — but can’t seem to get it right now!
