*I* am a quilter, round two. Needed some brackets to support the weight of a
30 foot heavy-duty extension cord for the lights. This would involve a trip
down to the big shop for brackets, screws, the drill, the bits, assorted
journeys to the hardware store, some planning, swearing, scratching and a
few delays.
"Nonsense" says I.
I came inside, picked up a few yards of the selvedge edge from Michael
Miller's Frost in gold (this is tough stuff) and simply stapled loops up
inside the porch framing.
Do all men figure out the hard way to accomplish anything or am I just a
lucky assistant?
I am a quilter.

We had ten wonderful lights to install between 2 of the columns at our

simply
drew a 'quilt' diagram with _ for spaces and 0 for lights. Measured out
to
need 10 and 1/3 inches for the spaces. Mr. Esther said, "We'll have to
fudge that 1/3".
Now. Really. No problem. I am a quilter.
