Patching the patchwork
Sometimes a quilt faces heavier use than the materials are designed for. This was the case with this Stained quilt from 2012.
Recycled shirt fabric is not very durable under the paws of a mid-size dog as you can see:

The Flying doll and his cousin
Who is
that, flying through the air? He looks like SuperM!
And so he is! Hello, M!
- Hi R! Are you coming from the sauna in your bathrobe, standing in the snow? What does you Mum say, or our Auntie?
- I’m not cold, I’m a Finn, and Mum doesn’t know I’m here. Besides, this is no bathrobe. It is my Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu uniform, with a black belt now. But why are you wearing your underpants on top, and what do your Mum and our Auntie say to that?
- They
don’t say anything because they know I think this looks cool. And when I wear them and
the cape, I can fly like you saw. Your black belt must mean something too?
- Great. Now I
must spread my cape and fly home. I have a little party on Sunday. Take care!
- You too
and have a nice birthday!
- Likewise,
dear cousin!
- J*******a, my pants again!
Happy birthday dear little nephews!
