Istuin eilen parvekkeella ottamassa aurinkoa. Tosin vain kasvoille, mutta enpä ole moista tehnyt koskaan ennen lokakuussa. Joinakin vuosina olen voinut ottaa aurinkoa jo huhtikuun lopussa, mutta en koskaan lokakuussa. Kesät ovat tulleet pidemmiksi ja kuumemmiksi näilläkin leveysasteilla. Siinä istuessani ajatukset tietysti lipuivat kesään ja erityisesti veneisiin ja laivoihin.
Yesterday I was sitting on my balcony sunbathing. Well, only for my face that is but I have never been able to do such a thing in October. Sometimes it has been possible to sunbathe already at the end of April but never in October. Summers have become longer and hotter even on these latitudes. So I was sitting there thinking of summer and especially boats and ships.
Tein pari vuotta sitten tilkkupeiton tilaustyönä erään ystäväni juuri syntyneelle lapsenlapselle. Ystäväni oli rohkea ja antoi minulle vapaat kädet tehdä mitä halusin. Ja niin minä teinkin! Olin aina halunnut tehdä purjeveneblokin ja nyt käytin sitä tässä peitossa.
A couple of years ago I made a commission quilt to a friend of mine who wanted to give it as a gift to her newborn grandchild. She was brave and gave me free hands to do whatever I wanted. And so I did! I had always wanted to try a sailboat block and I used it in this quilt.

I made a few of the sails red. I remembered that as a child I used to listen to a song called “Red sails”. In my little head I kept wondering why the sails were red. I had never seen red sails in Finland, only white sails.
Well, anyway in this quilt almost all sails are blue.
Yksi blokki kertoo yöpurjehduksesta valkoisin purjein.
One block tells a story of sailing in the night with white sails.
