What?

Today the oddest thing happened. There was a knock at my door, which is very odd as I live on an acreage and my friend know I do not like to have surprise guests, so they always call first. But it was the next door neighbour, whose name I don’t even know. She is about 78 years old and grows a beautiful garden, but I have not had many conversations with her over the years. 

Today she asked me if I would show her how I do embroidered landscapes. No, she did not want a lesson. No, she did not want to see a completed piece. She just wanted to watch me free motion painting. I didn’t even know she knew I did thread embroidery—I do not sell it or exhibit it, so maybe she knows because I teach it at the local quilt store every so often.

Bewildered and somewhat off balance, I decided to make a little scene of daisies, since these are fast and easy to demo. It was just a quick, QUICK rendition since I had no idea what she wanted. After it was completed, I offered it to her, but she politely refused saying “I saw what I wanted to see”. Then she thanked me again and went home. 

Is that weird, or is it just me??
