Today I went to see a new doctor. The minute I opened the front door to his
clinic, there on the back wall facing the front door was a queen-size string
quilt with hand ties in addition to the quilting. It was amazing. I peered
behind the quilt (it was perfectly hung by a sleeve on a curtain rod) and
saw the backing was unbleached muslin ("brown domestic" as I've learned from
my reading the old-timers called it). I could see tears that had been
lovingly repaired. I asked the receptionist if it was truly antique and she
said yes. I explained to my SO why I was so impressed by the quilt --
little tiny one-of-a-kind strips of fabric pieced into blocks with regular
quilt stitches, sturdy ties, neat mending, etc.

When I came out of the back office with my doctor at the end of the
appointment, I raved again about the quilt. The doctor said a patient had
found it at a garage sale (!) and given it to the clinic. The doctor let me
touch it. There was a flour brand stamp on the back -- the backing was from
flour sacks!

I take this as a good omen for my health and this doctor. (Yes, I can be a
bit superstitious when it suits me.)

I don't think that's superstitious I think it's called paying attention.
I think there are lots of little signs in life that people miss. But in
general when we pay attention to them usually good things happen. Trust
the gut I say.

Sounds like a good omen to me too and the office staff must want the
patients to feel right at home...there's something about a quilt that
speaks 'home', you know? I'm glad for you. Donna
