Incidentally, I have never dropped acid, but I've talked to people who have, and been told the feeling is like a mix of synesthesia, emotional vastness, and that strange hallucinatory feeling of being very tired and jet-lagged and hungry, while listening to On The Floor at the Boutique rather loud... which I have experienced.  I was so happy and floaty, and certain noises made my heart jump and my brain twist, and the beat-drop was like jumping off a high diving board and never hitting water.  It was a very cool feeling.  But I wonder: why drop acid if you can feel awesome just by running yourself ragged and exposing yourself to funky sounds...? My method doesn't fry the brain or get you sent to prison (although the risk of being taken advantage of while you're out-of-it is about equal). 

My Organized Chaos quilt is back from the long-armer!  It looks so cool! 

Here are the finishing details of this quilt:

• Backing - I chose a plummy purple color for the back, printed with a leafy design.  It came in extra-wide quilting cotton, so I didn't have to piece it to make it fit the quilt top.  I bought the backing at the Mill End Store. 
• Batting - Wanting extra loft for this project, I was guided to a wool/cotton mix by the ladies at Cedar Ridge Quilts. 
  
• Quilting - I wanted something girly but not childish, and the long arm quilter Rebecca Tellez delivered with a butterfly pantograph using variegated thread!
