Give me new eyes with which to see the New Year, Lord. Give me new and clearer vision. Let me bring new awareness to all the dear and precious sights and sounds about me, greet them with new delight, new enthusiasm. Let no day pass without my remarking on the beauty and wonder of all that is about me, from a bug (even in my kitchen) to a budding tree, from a chipped saucepan heaped with apples for peeling to a Van Gogh in a gallery

John Jay Janney was a rare man for his time - a farm boy who was educated. Born in 1812 in the backwoods of Loudoun County, Virginia, near Goose Creek, John was taught by the Quakers. At the age of 90, he realized that, although many records survived on the life of 19th century plantation owners, he was one of the few who could write about the life of ordinary farmers.He meticulously recorded everything he could remembered about furniture, farm tools, food, fashions, customs, ceremonies, schooling, even superstitions. Among other intriguing items, he tells how his mother weaned him, how coffins were made, why girls did not wear drawers, why flax was sown on Good Friday, and why one drunk was buried alive.When Janney moved west to cosmopolitan Columbus, Ohio, he helped found the public library there. He traveled to Washington for two visits with Abraham Lincoln, which he describes in these memoirs. His valuable book, edited and annotated by two of his heirs, is the heritage of all Americans.

To make any of the designs in this book the quilter needs to learn just one simple technique: putting together two parts of a square bisected by an arc. At first glance the arc appears to be the same as that in Drunkard's Path, a well-known pattern. This new arc is different, however, and therein lies its magic--and the promise of an entirely new dimension in quiltmaking. Book only.
