Erik Dahl, Napkin Maker


Erik has taken to making napkins for us. It started with 2, and then he made his own bias tape out of a raw silk, so he of course had to make 2 more to use that. The other day I came home and he had cut out a kazillion little tiny squares. I asked what he was using them for, and he said he had no idea. I provided him with some more fabric options, and he set about making another fleet of the small 3 pointed pieces. I began to think, maybe he's finally doing it, maybe after all of his ideas, and suggestions for my quilts and dreamy gazes while sketching designs, maybe he's going to make a quilt. Today I got home, and they were neatly arranged in a smallish rectangle on the table, and he said "I think it's a napkin."
